Mine are due - I just have to find a shearer somewhere. <BR/><BR/>Glad to see you made a decision about wether or not to shear your "trade" sheep - I hope that works out for you still!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933105773412843275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-76251583457636816082008-02-28T08:50:00.000-08:002008-02-28T08:50:00.000-08:00Holy Moly do they look different without the fleec...Holy Moly do they look different without the fleece on! You are right the gray ewe certainly loses her 'presence' with that wool gone! <BR/><BR/>I've decided to go ahead and shear the lot of them sooner than later, regardless of the lack of fleece on some. If I'm going to have any luck showing them this year, I'm going to have to have SOME length of fleece on the single coated girls to have a chance in the ring against the double coated ones whose fleeces will be twice as long!<BR/><BR/>I LOVE the before and after photos. It is sad that the Ag and Musket fleeces are only 'two toned' the first year and are much lighter after that. Gives them a totally different look don't you think?Ebonwald Cardiganshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749634503191909772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-41657588819057451282008-02-28T08:22:00.000-08:002008-02-28T08:22:00.000-08:00Wow!

Did you breed Bella and Brava? Bella looks a little "with ewe."<BR/><BR/>I guess I need to call Papa Ernie to come shear the bunch of them but I've barely touched last fall's bounty!Lauren Dorsee Dillonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12162879010179005782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-54713130177715839512008-02-27T22:59:00.000-08:002008-02-27T22:59:00.000-08:00We're getting sheared this Sunday.
