A small Shetland ewe looks back at the camera as a man uses electric shears to give her a haircut. The sheep's name is Moon, and she has a beautiful brown face, delicate horns, golden eyes, and a plush, warm gray fleece pooling around her as Fred, the sheep shearer, carefully clips her wool.

More shearing pictures later/tomorrow (assuming the felon doesn't fire nukes tonight). This is Moon, looking a bit indignant as Fred gives her a haircut.

A closeup view of the sheep shearer's hands as he wields his electric clipper. The skin on Fred's hands is darkened by years of sun exposure, and the backs of both hands are laced with scars.

Moon, a 2-year-old Shetland ewe, stands on top of a large round bale of hay, while the rest of the freshly-shirn flock gather around to eat. In the background, bare springtime trees, Dorset Peak, and a cloudy sky.

37 sheep with fresh haircuts. Just a few images from a long day. Fred brought his grandson to help ( it was great to have some young muscle for sheep wrangling).

Look at Fred's hands - he has been shearing sheep for 60 years.
