That's a lot of fleece! Hope you have plenty nice enough to work with and sell.

I've had to reschedule so many shearing clients due to rain. Not a good spring for shearers! Have fun playing with all those lovely fleeces when they're dry! There's a fb group called Dirty Fleece Done Dirt Cheap that one of my shearing clients mentioned that you might try listing some you don't think are great on before throwing them out. Someone might want it for something.

Sheep got rained on, then locked up for 2 days while it kept raining until they were shorn.
I don't have any small hole mesh over those cattle panels, so them being heavy with water makes it hard to flip them to skirt w/o it falling through the large holes.

Oh good, I thought it was a step I had missed in the wool processing :oops:

Surry is annoyed today. 4 days until lamb watch starts again!


Norman's owner was a no-show, no contact either yesterday. Hopefully they'll reschedule soon.


Waiting on the new owners of Jesper, Lizzy & Joyce now. Should arrive soon.

Started making friends with Lucia yesterday. Kinda hoping her potential buyer won't want her, lol.

Waiting for Surry got me wanting to fix up the barn.
Tore down the pallets, welded junk wire & old woven fencing to put up wood boards. The 3 older horses learned to stay calm when a leg is stuck in fencing from it, lol, but its time for proper boards.
Only a third done so far.
Roofer coming soon to check on leaky spots before hay is made & needs to be stacked within the barn. IDK where I'm going to stuff 250-300 square bales into! =0

Surry is less puffy today, which made me not recognize her, LOL. Had to hop over there to check others to see if she was there, but she was in the barn & I thought it wasn't her until she came around the corner.
Then Tatiana demanded a head rub, then a back rub....then Periwinkle wanted to be loved on, Lolla shoved her way in on the scratchings. FW & Chocolate thought they also wanted to be loved on, but changed their minds. Peri & Tatiana refused to leave, so I eventually ran off or I'd be there all day!
Sometime next week, someone will be closing up as many holes & gaps in the barn roof.
