Big Boys!
Last year's tup lambs Basil and Carlin are certainly big lads now! I got them in to shear this morning but of course it had rained in the night and they are soaking. Ah well boys peace for you a little longer!
You know, there is a Shetland breeder in Florida who washes her sheep before she shears them and then shears them wet. Says it keeps the clippers cooler (on top of the wool being cleaner). Just thought I'd pass that on. I thought I saved a link or email about it, but can't find it now.
