So we stopped working on the barn for a long day to winterizing- the critters that is. The first step is shearing the animals that need it before the cold temperatures hit. There’s 5 sheep that need shearing twice per year: our double-coated mioget sheep (before and after)and our Finn-Gotland sheep.
Then there are our fiber goats that need twice per year shearing: our Angora goats
oh my goodness I just love your enthusiasm! wait…enthusiastic sarcasm?
I am not looking forward to hoof trimming of 100 sheep. yikes…
We did a total of 60 sheep and goats- it’s a lot of work!
