Check out the previous two posts for Shearing Day photos and info. Here is one more post.

The last group of sheep is gathered waiting for shearing. Farm Club members did all the work of gathering sheep and passing them off to the shearer.

I had spent a lot of time cleaning skulls so that I could offer them for sale. Most of these will be in the shop and/or on the website.

Roy, Hank, and Gynna help every year at shearing.

Two people brought Shearing Day Cake! Both were excellent. Maybe this has started a tradition.

We work on shearer time. When John called for a lunch break everyone was willing. We’ve seen so little sun this winter that this was a real treat.

I think the sheep also enjoyed the sun.

Meridian Hunter, officially still a lamb since he was born last March.

Meridian Elvis is a yearling. He is a light lilac. “Lilac” is the term Jacob breeders use to describe a sheep that has grayish markings on the face instead of black. That coloration is also in the wool.

We work up the next morning to thick fog.

The new BFL ram that we call Clancy (although he is registered under another name).
