What is shearing? Well, it is shaving the wool off the sheep.
The kids and I went out last Thursday and did our best to help out Grandfather and the guys.
I even worked. He had me sweeping the trimming off the floor and picking up bellies (nasty wool from the sheep's belly). Sounds fun. I didn't mind because I have been wanting to learn about the ranching business more since one day David and I will be doing this together.
Here the men are trying to get them in the pen.

Madalyn loves doing this stuff.

This is how they hold the sheep down to shear them. Don't show PETA.
