Oh!!! How very cool!Sheep shearing lessons! That was such exciting news, truly. You have never shorn sheep or these kind of sheep. My ignorance is showing here. I am not sure if they all sheer the same, although, with little changes, they probably do.
I will bet the kids will be excited. Are you going to use the wool or sell it? Either way, it is exciting and I am so happy to see you grow.
You certainly did not take the easy way, do you? But, there is much self satisfaction this way! Look what you are teaching your children!
I do know you aren't vegan or vegetarian, but some days, I like to eat that way for a change. I do like my meat and it is very healthy for you in moderation. Thank you for giving me the heads up on the shearing!
You know Denise sheep farming - and specifically wool sheep - goes back in my family. I remember as a very little girl being at my great uncle's farm during sheep shearing. Craig and I used to play in the massive crates of beautiful wool. So I guess it's in my blood. However I've never personally sheared so I'm really excited. We plan on just keeping it small scale for now. Maybe the children can grow their flock once they are old enough to shear and clean the wool as well as care for the flock. I bought a spindle when we first moved to our homestead so my next goal is to learn to spin!
