I wonder how they see through this dense coat! |
I couldn't get a good angle to shoot a photo of the shearing process... |
... but here the shearer shows the mass of wool from one yearling sheep. |
This fellow was on hand to help with the process as needed. |
The sheep looks a lot cooler with that winter coat removed! |
A pair of oxen also live on the farm. |
Here an ox cozies up to a cow. |
And of course we can't have a farm without a rooster and his hens! |
The sheep look ready for a haircut. Bucolic Farm visit. Lovely.

Love sheep, they are so curious, we see them just about everywhere here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this beautiful spring post. Aloha!
ReplyDeleteSheep always look so naked after being sheared.
ReplyDeleteTHe man in the doorway shot is excellent, as is the Ox & Cow, and I like peeking on the chickens too...seems fun! Lovely post.
ReplyDeleteWonderful animal photos. That beard almost qualifies for a shear too LOL
ReplyDeleteThe sheared sheep look relieved with a load off their backs!

Looks interesting. Imagine all the work it would take to spin that wool and make something out of it!
ReplyDeleteI always wonder if the sheep feel better after they are shorn!
ReplyDeleteWhat cute images. Never been so close to see such a process!
