Barbados sheltered well from the showers last night and wasn't wet this morning, so I struck while the fleece was dry.

Shortly after I got the above photos it started to rain, so we moved to the machine shed. Even though I wasn't able to keep it intact, his fleece came off easily except for a small area on his haunches. He was left with a nice layer of very dense, crimpy new wool, now protected by a fresh coat.
Available: a crimpy, fine, soft fleece, and a 2014 fine-fleeced fawn katmoget polled ram (micron test results pending)!
That's it for today from . . .

Good looking boy.....Sadly the fawn kat rams are the hardest to sell. That baffles me because the fleece makes such a nice heathered yarn and it over dyes well too.
Michelle, I can't tell...is he hand shorn, blade shorn or did you roo him?
I wish I knew a little more about wool while it's still on the sheep, but It looks so clean and beautiful.
Wow! That's crimpy!
I didn't know that, Kelly! Oh well, he might be just what SOMEone wants....
Sandra, I rooed him.
That's the benefit of coating my sheep, Nancy Kay.
It sure is, A. :-)
