Sheep Sheering Time

Well its sheep sheering time again. We have seven sheep at the moment, we sheer them ourselves and take the opportunity to worm them, trim their hooves and give them a good check over.

This is Jeff, he’s not the usual sheep, he actually doesn’t mind being sheered, he makes it look far easier than it really is. The others are friendly sheep, but they certainly don’t like the noise of the clipper, so it can be a bit of a battle sheering them whilst trying not to stress them too much.
