Love your photo’s. They make me smile. Question…how old are your sheep when you first sheer them?
Thanks! My lambs are first sheared as yearlings in the Spring. Generally, sheep are sheared once per year – usually in the Spring (prior to lambing)…although sheep may be sheared year-round, especially for the meat market. Some long-wool sheep are sheared 2X/yr, Spring and Fall. Hope this helps. (:
Thank you for the information. I am a new pet owner…this is a new hobby, so I am learning as I go. My 6 month old ram (shetland) seems to need a “hair cut” …yes, I am a dog person…still learning all the terms.
Good luck! Your ram is adorable…are you planning on breeding or are you going to castrate/wether him??
Love the tea shirt. Haven’t tried the bleach pen art yet but will definately add it to my looooong list of to-do’s. We have a couple of market lambs that are 1/2 shetland and BFL with beautiful fleeces. They will get sheared before they are sent to the local butcher.
Oh my…I’ll bet their fleece is beautiful!!! WANT!!! Have you considered ‘processing’ a pelt or two??
I know what you mean…my ‘list’ keeps growing too! [wink]
