Shearing the sheep

We sheared the Ouessant sheep last weekend. There are seven of them and it took a few hours to get them all done. We are not very speedy or very neat!

It was too bright when I took the photo so you can't see them very clearly. Some if them look rather scruffy but I think they are more comfortable in the warm weather (there was a bit of a cold snap this week which might have made them less grateful). They look quite funny when they have just been done with skinny bodies and necks and huge heads

You can see also our new sheeo hurdles. They made catching them amazingly much easier. We wormed them all too and vaccinated the lambs.
