Tolly see...Thank you for the lovely comments folks. Tolly seems quite happy in his new home.<br /><br />Kathy: my sheep were mostly sheared in the first week of July. I say mostly because I sheared half (I do it myself by rooing and handshears) and then it rained for weeks and they were always wet! I had to do them whenever I got the opportunity. I wasn't the only one around these parts with the problem. My girls vary a lot in fleece length. Some are very crimpy and short, others have a longer more lusterous staple. I'd like some more length (but not extreme) so intended to use a longer fleeced tup... but Tolly had so much else to offer that I love and breeding programmes are long processes!Jenny Holdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17503427796709597517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19205604.post-48471349238495110992009-12-14T16:00:56.025+00:002009-12-14T16:00:56.025+00:00Hi, Jenny!

What wonderful posts!<br />I had to laugh at the "Sheep scrum" post as it reminded me of watching rugby when visiting family in NZ. How right you are as my sheep "scrum" as well.<br />I wanted to ask you what time of year you shear? My sheep look like coloured cotton wool on toothpicks as their fleeces are quite a bit longer than the sheep in your photos. I wonder if it's our very cold weather and altitude that attributes to long, thick fleece this time of year???<br />Thank you for sharing yourself and your flock with us.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933105773412843275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19205604.post-69481825944778945672009-12-14T13:46:32.393+00:002009-12-14T13:46:32.393+00:00Sure looks like a spotted grey katmoget to me!
