So happy to start looking at early spring shearing in Florida. The cold weather of the mid-Atlantic makes one really appreciate the southern climes. #sheepshearing #alpacashearing #llamashearing #floridafarm #floridafarms #shearing

Gorgeous Scottish Blackface ewes. You see these fluff balls all over Scotland. They’re fairly wild but so beautiful. #scottishblackface #scottishblackfacesheep #primitivesheep #sheepshearing

I’ve tried to figure out why these babydoll sheep are bred to have their whole faces covered in wool. Within a few months they are often completely “wool blind”, requiring a “facing”. This is tricky, because they often have a big buildup of eye goop (normal discharge but on these sheep it gets clogged in the wool), often hard as a rock. And their wool goes almost right up to the eye. It’s a nail biting job. Clean faced sheep are more “sustainable “, IMHO. #sheepshearing #babydollsouthdownsheep #sheepcleanup #difficultsheep

Sweet Sarah May, my own sheep whom I just brought

Sweet Sarah May, my own sheep whom I just brought home last week, got freed from her stiff and mildewed coat. She’s an old girl and so I had to go easy- the elders have thinner skin, just like people. #sheepshearing #sheepshearer #rescuesheep #rescuesheepofinstagram #shearing #suffolksheep #elderlysheep

At @goodluckstable - little donkey wanting attention all for herself. I was there to shear sheep and do toenail trims, so I’m afraid she only got a bit of a nose scratch. #lovelongears #shearinglife

I just love cleanly shorn sheep out on fresh pasture. They might fuss while you handle them but they recover instantly as soon as they spot food. #sheepshearers #sheepshearing #shornsheep #shearingsheep
