Michigan Fiber Fest

Whew! Finally home from the MFF weekend. Nice weekend but exhausting. The sheep were very happy to get home and back to their pasture and freedom. I think the best thing that happened over the weekend was the two Lincoln Longwools got sheared and we picked up our new ram, Clyde. He's awesome with a great personality. He will make a great addition to our flock. Here are some pics: 
Huck and Homer - Lincoln Longwools. Won fourth in Pair of Ram Lambs class.

After shearing - happy boys.

Clyde - won first place in Junior Ram Lamb class.

Clyde and sheep grandpa making a funny!

Gussy won fourth in Junior Ewe Lamb class.
Lilly and Marla won third in Pair of Ewe Lamb class.
I also picked up a couple of really nice Pygora fleeces, dyed Angora locks, and two ounces of Qiviut roving. Want to get my hands into the fiber.
