But then her health and wool declined.
sheared Moni in May 2017
This spring she became thinner and less active. She then lost interest in eating and today she died. It is a sad day here at Schoonover Farm.
Dear Donna – I’m so sorry about Moni. She had some really great fleeces!
She did. I will miss her.
Hugs, Donna.
