Ah well finally all my sheep are sheared, they look gorgeous all sheared. One of the ewe lambs which gave a single this year looks fantastic and has a big bag. All I need to do now is round them up and dose em before putting them on some fresh pasture. They all look gorgeous with good weight and plenty of milk, been a good year so far I reckon.

good to hear some positive news

still feeding hay etc here but they keep saying there's a heatwave coming so hoping it will bring the grass on

I love it when mine are sheared and they look all clean, smart and jet black (zwartbles). Also in great condition even the ewes whose lambs were only weaned a few weeks ago.

One of my favourite times in the sheepy year

I just posted an almost identical comment on another post - it's a lovely time, sinking your hands into glorious soft fleece

and the sheep clean and smart
