After their first shearing! (Since I became a, well, a shepherd!)
Now we have a bunch of naked Shetlands!

Neat job :thumbsup: I always laugh at my sheep when their fleeces come off. :sheep: :sheep: :sheep:

Lovely colours :thumbsup:

They look a bit tidier than my first shearing! This year I'm calling it success as long as the fleece is (mostly) off and no-one is bleeding :tired:

Just re read that and believe I am misleading people! :thinking: Have changed wording, which was surprisingly tricky, still not sure if gets it across! ;D
It was my first shearing as a sheep owner, it was done by a friend of ours who's a professional shearer! I have tried shearing our goat myself - she's never spoken to me since :-\
Although perhaps I should have kept quiet and have you all believe I'm a pro!! :innocent:

Aha the truth is out :roflanim:

Nice sheep :) :love: :sheep:

Don't they look tiny after shearing!

The one looking at my daughter is pretty tiny anyway. She's a lovely little sheep, an adorable cross between dead nosey and dead nervous!
