| Wild Rose Farm Rambouillet #412 Being Sheared |
We got a little over half of the ewes sheared yesterday. Our shearer, Don, had some ewes lambing right now, so he finishes with morning chores before coming here to work on our sheep. He left the shearing machine hanging here overnight and he'll pick up with the last 17. We left the ram for today & usually all three of us participate in that since they're usually a little to large to just flip around like the ewes. It's the "hold, shear, & roll" method! :)

| Wild Rose Farm Rambouillet #332 - Another Nice Fleece! |
I try to jump in and take a few pictures. We bag each fleece individually with the ewe's ear tag number and I also pull off a 2" square side sample of the yearling fleeces. Those samples are sent to
Yocom-McColl Testing Laboratory for micron testing. We micron test all of the sheep.
So here we are ... part way through shearing!
