Bub has gone shearing a couple of times for friends of ours. He loves helping out. They usually sheer them in late summer here. Maybe they do it again in the late winter too?<br /><br />Blessings!<br />DeborahThe dB familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170331499885879774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-24791421878687260402014-02-04T10:21:43.867-07:002014-02-04T10:21:43.867-07:00Especially love the first shot of the sheep coming...Especially love the first shot of the sheep coming in heavy with wool and snow-covered.<br /><br />I was taking pictures at my friend's farm today - he has twin and triplet lambs.

Now electricity makes all the difference. It sure looks like back breaking work.

They are an enigma to me. Thank you for explaining why shearing happens so early. I've always wondered.
