Spent the better part of the day...

Doing this....Ok...well I actually wasn't doing this but assisted in a big way! Our sheep were in bad need of their annual hair cut and bright and early this morning our shearer guy showed up!

As Dave was still sleeping from getting home somewhere around 5 am, it was total girl power between the shearer guy and Casi and me... (this actually is not our shearer guy or one of our sheep, woke up too early to remember the camera and really not a fan of taking it to the barn)

We made out pretty good between shoots and gates, had almost 3/4 of them done by the time Dave woke up! It gave us a good opportunity to deworm them and check thier hooves too..

Between Casi and I and the guy we had a good system down! Some of our girls gave us trouble and some more "man" power would have been great but we certainly managed!!

It is a great feeling to get another one of those jobs crossed off the list! I really do not like this job...it is just plain....well stinky....

My sheep look like skinny pigs now!! (again, not one of our sheep but you get the idea! )Also this morning we had our first lamb of the fall season born! The first of many to be born in the coming weeks we hope!!!
