Well, today was the day to shear and it happened without a hitch, almost. I had the ewes in the barn all night long and knew that they would at least get done if the rain came. Awoke to the sound of a light rain, which is not good if the other sheep, the rams are outside. Fortunatly, it did no harm to the ram lambs. They all got sheared and the beautiful raw fleece is going for sale to interested people.
The kids helped to get this chore done, they can be very helpful.
My husband is up in the mountains at this moment hiking down...he is going after an elk buck or a deer. We'll see. I'll be happy with either so he can get the hunting out of his system for the year. Although, the elk meat would be great in the freezer.
