April sheering was our best effort yet. We've become a well oiled machine. Bob & Dave kept the sheep in line; Jeff & Emily sheered.
Jaunatha & Alicia kept the flow going - running fleeces to the skirters, tending the sheep after sheering. Kate, Penelope and myself were just able to keep up skirting. For those of you unfamiliar with the process of sheering, skirting a fleece is the honored "poo picking position". Skirting prepares the fleece for processing at the mill. Vegatation and "other matter" is removed from the fleece to prevent problems at the mill. Kate & Penelope organize the fleece tent at the Common Ground Fair.
