Life Goes On

The injury that I talked about in the last post has kept me from doing a lot of my normal stuff. I’m way better but my motivation isn’t there and everything (including taking decent photos) just seems hard.

Farm Club member Dona took a lot of photos of the winter and early spring events going on here and I’m finally getting to a blog post where I’ll use them. Thanks Dona.

Shearing was in early February. Thanks to Farm Club for doing all the work involved in making Shearing Day go smoothly.

Farm Club members went home with their fleeces and other fleeces were sold.

The sheep just kept on coming.

Since I’m not going to be ready to trim feet for awhile our shearer trimmed each sheep as he finished shearing.

Farm Club members and fleece buyers were able o skirt fleeces before they took them home.

The goats were probably glad that they didn’t need to go through the shearing gate.

Lincoln was the youngest person at Shearing Day and I know that in future years he will be a fixture at area fiber events.

Hank is another well-known fiber-immersed baby.

The rams don’t look so impressive after shearing. This is Meridian Axle.
