The glamorous look of sheep shearing day. I am no pro at it yet, and I didn’t even take video of the first attempts because it was so awkward and I was preoccupied with remembering the order of blows with electric clippers, I’ve only ever shorn with 18th/19th century implements so this was a different beast all together. It is very sweaty, dirty work, but it is satisfying to say the least. Notice the sheer amount of grime and lanolin coating my skin, yum! I have bags full of fresh wool now to play around with which is very exciting! I will have to post an updated photo on our flock with their new do’s.
