Successful Shearing Day

Another successful shearing day with out to many injuries to the humans. A couple of scrapes, a few knocks and a lot of sore muscles. Alpacas made out fine except a little chillier as today is damp and grey.

Thanks to Dianne, Liz, Clothilde, Patricia, Roy, Lynne, Don, Thomas, and Steven. Special thanks to Kevin, David and friends (sorry I missed your names) from the Agricultural College. The extra hands and strong arms were a huge benefit in making the day go smoothly. Thank you again Lucas for another good day of shearing that went by without major incident.

There were the stubborn girls who decided to cush every so often on the route to the Shearing site, the escapee at the end of the day that needed to be herded back into the barn from the pasture, the couple of screamers and only one spitter.

Thanks again for helping shear our 25 animals.

Note: For the second year in a row a pair of sun glasses were left behind.
