I bought 4 rams this spring. They were yearlings and had never been sheared. The rest of my ewes however, were already sheared. Rather that get my shearer to come back for 4 rams, I bought a set of electric shears and we did them ourselves yesterday! My very first sheep that I have sheared! ( and no, I don’t think I’ll be doing them all next time!)
They should be cooler for the rest of the summer, even if they’re not looking exactly handsome!
Here is a pic of the first 2 done, and the next 2 waiting!
