I finally got to Amos (yearling ram) this week and sheared him. Because his fleece is spoken for already I wanted to remove it carefully for Beth. I manually sheared Amos and he hardly moved the whole time he was on the stand.
I think as I sheared and the fleece draped off of him, he felt cooler and figured that this wasn't too bad after all.
Amos has a lovely fleece, very soft. I sold all my other fleeces at MFF and online so Amos was the last to go. I do have one left which really isn't in a sell-able condition so I think I'll felt it and make lamb coats for this next lambing season.
Just in case Amos acted up while in the stand, I wanted Steve to hang around in case I needed help. Ah, thanks Amos for being such a good ram!
Beth...I'll stop by the shop soon!
