Shearing Day

I miss my fuzzy sheeps, especially the boys.  They all did a great job with their first hair cuts though and are officially big boys.

You may not believe me, but this is Spud!

My big baby.  Those boys never really grow all the way up.  I love that he still wants to stand with me when he's scared.

Buddy and Burrnie

And it's nice to see Burrnie roly poly and burr free this year :-).

Hershey was quite concerned about getting a little off the top.  Sadly he accidentally DID get a little off the top.  I think he knows his cool hair days are over.  If that's the worst thing that happens, it's a good day shearing.

33 bags of wool.  We use sheets instead of bags though.  Easy to use and breathable.  33 bags because we didn't shear Jester.  I'll do him myself when it gets warmer.

And here's Baby B's first hair cut.  This is the normal way to shear sheep, not standing up like Maisie.
