Farm Life - Sheep Shearing


Hello dear friends, I'm so glad you could stop by.

I spent a few hours the other day over at the neighbours farm to watch the sheep shearing. . . but actually I think I just like watching the sheep I was fascinated by their personalities.

Sheep, just like people, are born with their own unique set of traits. . . I find this very interesting.


Some were skittish, some resigned themselves to the fact that shearing was inevitable and a few would have none of it.


The ram seemed unimpressed and waited his turn without incidence though he proved to be a formidable opponent when it came time to man handle him into position.


This was my favourite shot. . . the colour is so warm but these girls are in definite need of a trim.

I do believe I may have a few shots I can use for drawing later.


Little lambs are so shy.

Have fun and enjoy counting sheep.

Sheila
