Shearing here on the farm for fall 2024 is taking place november 8th some time before noon(we are the shearers second stop of the day)I could use a few extra hands to prep the barn before hand and handle the sheep during shearing to and from their place in line, if anyone is interested I could pay you in wool and snacks. The time it takes to shear is not long, less than 30 minutes it’s the prep and skirting of the wool afterwards and the handling of the animals that is the difficult part. It is very labor intensive so you must be ready to help grab the reins of a 300lb ewe and you must be comfortable around large stubborn dirty animals.
It’s a really fun part of the year, it’s all about the changing of the seasons, shedding the nasty coat from the summer and making way for new things to come.
