My daughter's CVM ewe, Vivian. We did the whole flock, but Vivian's was by far the longest at 6-7 inches and was about 10 pounds before skirting!

Wow. Now that is a mountain of wool. What will they do with it all? I would love to have some of that. I want to learn to spin SO bad. I bet that was so fun. I had some Suffolk sheep and we had to sheer them. That was an ezperience. My SIL grabbed them and picked them up and laid them on their backs like they were little babies. No problem. I am getting my front pasture ready now for some lambs. I hope to get a few fiber sheep too.

Thanks for sharing such great pictures. Is that your grandaughter in all that wool? SHe looks so happy.

Looks nice. Too early to shear here the poor sheep would freeze! It will probably be next month for us.

Blessings, Sheri
