Sheep Shearing Tomorrow!

First Group Of Ewes Sheared ......
We'll be finishing off the shearing at Wild Rose Farm tomorrow.  Wouldn't you just know that we're supposed to have rain & cooler weather?  What's that we hear about the "S" word for Monday?!?  After all of this warmer weather, that won't be any fun .......
The second group to shear is mostly the yearlings, but also the ram & the less "bagged up" ewes.  They're in the barn tonight staying nice & dry for shearing.  We'll be taking fleece samples from the yearlings for micron tests from Yocom-McColl Testing Labs.  We do micron test all of our sheep as yearlings at their first shearing.
