A Close Shave!!
Jack, Charlie, Bill and the lovely Bella were unceremoniously bundled into a trailer and carted off to our neighbour John Vanstone's farm across the valley. Professional shearers had set up shop and were shearing John's flock. Their wool was so thick we could only get two in the trailer at a time on the way to John's so had to make two trips. Once they were sheared we got all four in on the way back!
We now have four fleeces two white and two black to add to the two we kept from last year. We must find a use for them. Time for spinning or weaving classes!
The video is of Jack and Charlie being sheared.
PS If you buy organic beef from Tesco you might see John's face beaming back at you from the freezer! (He is also a beef farmer)
