Wish our weather would cooperate with my shearing schedule - Rose
I've only been able to complete 1 animal. Rose is done except for trimming her hooves. Our weather just won't settle down into Spring. I hoped to come home from work today and shear Grace. The wind is just howling and cold. I hate to shear them in that kind of weather. Here is a picture of the sheared Rose. As I've said she is the whitest of my does and very sweet. I wanted to get a before picture, but the camera was not charged. Maybe the next one. I can take a picture of Grace, but she is.....I believe.....more cashmere in fiber content. There is lots of guard hairs in her fiber and I'm not going to process it. I don't have the right equipment, nor the patience to get all those guard hairs out. I have last years fiber saved and hoped to send both years off to the mill in May.
