Ruaig’s fleece is one of my favourites
Ruaig’s mum is Tiree who is a Hebridean/Valais; her dad is a Herdwick 👌😍
I will attempt to make a felted rug with it in the summer 🙏
Won’t say which year that summer will be 😏

They’ll be glad to get their coats sheared off… apparently the whole of the UK will be in “taps aff” mode next week 👌🏴🥵

When you need to drag a lot of sheep around, choose wooden flooring. This is an very well done study by Harvey et al., where they dragged several sheep 400 times across various flooring types.

So now that I finally shared everyone, I have to reteach hubby who's who, sheep are like Clark Kent, but instead of glasses, just a haircut changes their entire persona, my queen now is a walking wrinkle #sheepshearing #beforeafter #sheeplife #dairysheep #haircut
Mildred, the Karakul sheep. So neglected and skinny that animal control seized her… and then a sweet woman adopted her and her sister.

Wobble, a Corma sheep, always wants to go first on haircut day. He is looking up the driveway for Fred, the shearer.
Ninja and Moon, two Shetland x Icelandic ewes, look towards the camera. They are standing with a bunch of other sheep in a barn.

Waiting for Fred. Wobble always wants to go first, so he can start scratching himself first. Little Ninja and her cousin Moon wonder what's going on, and Iris wanted to snuggle.

Chapter 2 of Domestic Wool Doldrums, in which I explain why the US wool industry can’t just reboot to replace imports in 2 weeks/months/years. 🧶 Today’s topic: shearers.

Max was a very good boy today. He’s about 7 yo. Max knows he is a “big boy”. His genes make him that way. I’ve rarely seen middle aged Babydolls who didn’t have a weight problem. Max is well cared for and not over fed. He said, “Iyam what Iyam.”

Sheep Shearing Day is a Tristan Tradition enjoyed by the whole community. One of my favourite days of the year! #islandlife #sheepshearing #tristandacunha

A woman with long auburn hair, wearing a green shirt, black pants, and a work apron, stands in the first shearing position of the Bowen method with a large pink and white unicorn standing in for a sheep. She is in a slightly squatting position with her toes pointed inwards and hands on her thighs. She is looking at the person holding the camera, caught mid-sentence.
I’m really uncomfortable with using the Bowen method that we learned in shearing school. Is it potentially still a good method to work on?Sure. More tools in the toolbox.
Meet Ewe-nicorn, my stand-in to practice shearing positions.

A badger-faced sheep with a curl of straw over its face looks at the photographer's knees. Her buddy, an all-white sheep, stands behind her and to the side and turns her head to look at the camera. Mid-winter sunshine at the golden hour washes the scene, and a huge goat is laying down in the straw in the background.
Five sheep stand in a meadow on an incredible sunny day in mid-January. They all stare at the photographer from a respectable distance.
Last weekend was sheep-focused (more than usual). I did a site visit on Saturday afternoon to prepare for my first shearing gig of the year, and then I spent most of Sunday out at my shearing mentors' farm to practice hoof trims. Again. Practice makes progress.

Alas, it’s months yet till shearing season starts on the East Coast. I’ll be scheduling farms (from Miami to New Jersey) starting right after the holidays. You can always put in your request early.
