Sheep Shearing


Today was sheep shearing for the Dorsets. We sheared the four brood ewes, varying in weight from 175-275 lbs. Connie, Rachel, Sister and Maddie cooperated well, despite their size. Still, they left us thoroughly exhausted. Below is a link to a video of a man shearing a Finnsheep--he's much better at it than I am, but it will give you an idea of how to shear sheep.
