IT'S SHEARING DAY!
A large group of folks is coming up today to help with a full-work day at the farm and end with a big ol' potluck! I'm looking forward to it. This is my first shearing I am hosting and doing by myself, a big step in the small holding shepherd's career. In a few hours there will be bags of wool and a fine group of friends laughing, eating, and working together. Days like today, Hoo!

Sounds thoroughly enjoyable. You're right, it's a big time!
With the fleece gone will you be better able to tell if you have more lambs on the way?
Yes! yes I will. Full count tonight!
Sounds like alot of fun!
Jenna, you are an inspiration. Insightful, creative, BRAVE, tenacious, persistent, ingenious, musical...oh, I could go on and on. As a hobby farmer with a menagerie of my own, I understand and relate to some of the trials and successes you have. Hang in there...to thine own self be true! It is a delight to read your blog. Thank you for sharing :-)

Love the way sheep look after being shorn. You and everybody else are going to have a blast—great idea to make it a day!
Looks like you're having the best day possible, weather wise. Hope all goes well.
I had so much fun- a lot of laughs! It wouldn't have been as much of a hoot if you had called in professionals!
Thanks for including all of us.
Hope everyone has a great, fun and productive day!
Hello Jenna, here's a link to a pretty cool farm, you might know them, they are just north of you.
