February 5, 2011: Shearing Day!!
|
| Deb and Jacob remove the coat of the next ewe to be sheared |
|
| Very pregnant Gabby patiently being sheared |
|
| Lights around the shearing floor help in shearing dark fleeces |
|
| Adults watch the shearing floor as the children watch "Happy Feet" |
|
| Lori helps skirt off the dirtiest wool as it comes off each sheep (to protect the remaining fiber) |
|
| Our truck brings the fleeces in from the barn - quite a pile! |

| Ewes in their shelter, hidden by the snow drift within |
|
| Ewes crowded by the snow drift in their lean-to |
|
|
| Drifting next to the ewes' lean-to |
|
| Five ewes needed help seeing again after the storm |
