11/1/2005Shearing Day at The Good Shepherd FarmGreetings, Shearing Day at The Good Shepherd Farm in Savoy, MA yesterday. Lovely flock of Reg. Romneys in full fleece. I was able to skirt the fleeces as they came off from the shearers who were using the age old blade shearing technique. It was a very peaceful and quiet event. The sun was shining and as the ewes ran off into the pasture their newly shorn-selves glistened in the sunlight. The flock is just about half black and half white now. I thought, a game of checkers or chess, and a few cooperative sheep, and we’d have quite the game. To all you handspinners that have been waiting patiently, your fleeces are on the way.
