But wait; I have naked sheep in the fold and a big pile of soiled sheep suits to launder! Yesterday can't be a figment of my imagination!
Whistlestop Bunker, before and after. Exquisite fleece is sold. Available as a proven flock sire. Awt/Aa B?/B? Pp
Whistlestop 0338 (Annabelle), dam to above. Lovely fleece is sold. Didn't get an "after" shot.
Bart, Annabelle's wethered yearling son whose colored fleece is even more exquisite than his half-brother's (Annabelle obviously has excellent fleece genetics). His uncoated fleece is available - unless I selfishly keep it to process and spin myself. Available as a fiber pet.
WhitePine Sarai; didn't get a "before" shot. Shearer said, "Now THIS is a fine fleece!" (sold). Such a gorgeous girl; sure hope she settles this fall.
Browning, four-year-old wether; moorit with heavy age-greying. Coated fleece available. Diet plan needed.
Kimberwood Cadbury, sire of Bittersweet and Bloom (both available) out of Annabelle. Delicious fleece is sold.
Petite Kimberwood Marta, looking for her large lambie-pie. Fabulous fleece is sold; friendly black Bing-boy would love to be someone's fiber pet.No photos of Blake (rooed and shown in a previous post), Bramble (oversight), or Bonny (decided she is roo-able). May have to forego sleep for a few weeks to get skirting done along with everything else.
That's it for today from . . .

congrats on getting them done ... mine were done yesterday, by the looks of your pictures your shearer did a much better job. My regular shearer that has come from Oregon the last 6 years could not make it this year ...... had to find a back up, too many nicks and cuts.
Well done on the sold fleeces and on the one you're keeping!
Still training him to leave the second cuts on the sheep; he was trained as a meat breed show shearer and old habits (to slick-shear them) die hard. Only had one nick, I think. I am very thankful for my shearer - who is also our farrier!
God is good, Sandra. :-) This is the nicest fleece crop yet; I am so pleased with them!
Wow, almost all sold. Good for you and shearing job looks fantastic.
How nice that your shearer and farrier is one in the same. A good steady working relationship=priceless.
Gawd, isn't the weather the absolute PITS this year. I'm pretty sick of it all too. We did manage a day and a generous half of sunshine though and then, it snowed last night. UGH!
Lovely! My lady has a call in to the traveling shearing man for Tuuli and Wickery. She thinks if she wants to get serious about this wool thing that she needs to coat them.
Pretty pretty fleeces. And good luck with that chubby wether ;-).
Nekid sheep - you have to wonder how they feel afterwards. You know they smell different to each other.
