Shearing

May is our shearing month at work, so we've finished up and I just had to share some pictures of all the beautiful fiber!

Waiting for their turn

It warms my heart to see fleece lined up all in a row like this... 

This is Priscilla just before her clip. Her hair is so soft and long. It was actually fine enough that we had to be very careful with the clippers because it was having trouble getting through. I can't wait to play with it!

 Ditto with Elvis's fiber. Look at that poof! this is his 3rd cutting (as a three year old since he had so much he had to be cut as a 6month old!). It is still super fine and gorgeous. Even the third choice cuts are lovely to feel.

One of our Southdowns, Martha, waiting her turn. I didn't grab any good pics of the Shetlands this year.

Oh bother!

The end!
