Shearing - Before and After

They look so different now!!  Hard to 'see' who is who!!

Carter and Totem, before and after:




Everybody having brekky before shearing, it was booked for 2pm so I thought it would be safe to feed them early, as it was we started at 12.30, but it all worked out OK.


And this morning:


Orchid said she'd rather 'pass' on the whole shearing thing, and jumped out of the 'to be shorn' yard and into the 'done and free to go yard'.... but she got caught and brought back, she was not best pleased :(


Joeley, before and after:


Bracken looks the most changed, he had such a lot of fleece! Our shearer was Ian Elkins, and helper was his son Michael, they were a very professional and efficient team.




Sweet Pea, before - with Noisette and 'on the table':



Rest time after shearing - tough day for us all, but fortunately its over quickly.


Pearl was first, looking a bit funny with newly applied zinc cream on her nose.
