Sheep unshorn

The shearing that was scheduled for yesteday had to be put off as their wool was still wet from all the rain we've been having. People came anyway, many little people, and were encouraged to feed the sheep, the horse and one goat. It was a happy scene.

Yep, they do need haircuts.

Feed me, too, please!










The lambs are getting big



Well, anyway we can go look in the barn with all that interesting stuff.

Bye horse, we're going to the barn.

Ooh, what a neat place!

Look, Daddy ...

... that goat is really fat!

The pen is where the shearing will take place next Saturday (weather permitting). Stay tuned.

Here's some info on this interesting museum Sherwood-Jayne House.

Those look like Rastafarian sheep :)

The goat seen from the back looked like it had swallowed a rowboat. Next week there will be a kid on that side of the fence too.

It is so amazing that such beautiful wools can come from those awful looking, tangled hunks of sheep wool ...

That horse has such a beautiful coat.

Yes, the horse was lovely. He had a white mane hanging on the other side.

I'll put up a couple more pictures.
