The lambs and sheep are looking wonderful! Their fleeces have grown all summer long….
The rams fleeces even look exceptional this year!
They are even feeling a bit ramish, those hormones are changing as we creep closer to the end of October.
Thankfully, Brandon was available to shear this last weekend and did a wonderful job!
Some more of the shearing crew…
Jason, my brother-in-law, even sheared a bit. He’s shearing my favorite fleece here…
All business…
A happy Dugur dog…
A pretty mouflon…
Two rams getting reacquainted after loosing their fleeces.
They don’t seem to really recognize each other and will fight reestablish the pecking order. Boys!
What a job! It took the whole weekend but all sheep came out of beautiful and now I have a ton of fleece to sort through! Any helpers?
Linking up with friends at:
I admit to knowing nothing about sheep… but I am surprised that they would get sheared as the weather is getting bolder. I thought that was done in the Spring. I hope it grows back quickly!
Great shots!! What cutie pies!! Wouldn’t want to mess with those Rams though 🙂
Most sheep are only sheared in the spring. Icelandics are a few of the breeds that are shorn twice a year. Typically, the premium clip is in the fall ~ less hay, organic matter in the fleeces than the spring clip. And yes it does grow back very quickly!
They all look great with and without their coats! Love the group shot of them all.
Beautiful animals.
