First, a couple pics of the animals hamming it up. Ms. Kitty:
Rammy! We recently sheared Rammy. It was mildly traumatic for both the shearing and the sheared. There was blood. There was cussing. He kicked me straight off my feet a couple times, and even managed to bowl over one of the walls to the shearing pen. Sheep are strong damnit! Try getting one on its side. He's dead weight.
Ultimately we did get him sheared. Needless to say we will NOT be entering Rammy in the Darke County Fair. But the job is done, which is most important, because Rammy was baking underneath all that wool. Yes, he looks like we ran him through a wood chipper. So enjoy Rammy pre-shearing, it'll be awhile before he looks normal again.
Billy, the newest Angora. He's a buck, and his only job on the farm is to eat and make little goats. Obviously he pleased somebody in his previous life.
Toby and Billy:
Penny! The source of Jessica's forthcoming line of products:
Lotus, the ridiculously friendly Angora doe
The lilac bushes! These babies made the whole farm smell incredible.
