Started on shearing today. Nails done and legs + tails of the girls.
Cream girl's nails didn't really need any work. But her hair was hard to slide the blade in to cut.
Brown girl's nails were a bit long, but not bad. Very easy to cut her hair, so I was able to get fairly uniformly cut fiber from her. She also has a little longer fiber than the other.
Going to do necks, heads and bellies next time. Thinking of leaving the sides and top of their barrels to get longer fiber next year. It's not much at all, 2-3in.
