Everyone (including me) is holding up better than I'd have guessed during all this heat. Heat is way harder on sheep than cold, for obvious reasons. If you are older and um, a little "husky"...
...you are extra miserable. Poor Woolliam. If he's too hot to go out and eat? He's too hot. So I sheared him this afternoon.
And now I'm thinking that being too hot to go out and eat might be a good thing for ole Woolly. Sadly this picture makes him look skinny.
As soon as I was done, Rebecca Boone marched over. She's the other sheep we are worried about.
"Hey, how'd you rank a special hair cut?!?"
And then everyone had to come check him out.
Recognize those batwing ears? :-).
Woolliam looks a bit sad in these pictures, but when we went out to feed tonight, he was up and at it, begging for cookies (NO!), no excessive panting and no runny nose.
I hated to throw away his fleece, but didn't think twice about it. Hishealth life is more important. Rebecca Boone's wool is a bit longer and might be salvageable. As there is no relief in sight, I think she's probably going to end up next in line for a buzz cut.
