Shearing season is in full swing!

Well, here it is....that dreaded shearing season again. If your like us you have begun the task of dragging out all the equipment to find that the rush from last season finds you un-tangling a mess of cables, cutting yourself on loose cutter, and so on. However, if you are about your business then you know that this is just part of the many task on the farm. 
We have begun shearing and are part way there. I am excited to have new fiber for processing in our mill. I always get so excited as if there is some kind of prize at the bottom of the bag. Sometimes there are...yikes...spinder can get in weird place! Eeeekkkk!
Anyway, if you find yourself at a loss this time of year and need a little encouragement have faith! Many of us are struggling with the same backaches and fluff up the nose and are here if you need a shoulder. 

Happy Shearing!
