Its Shearing time for the Sheep

The warm weather is finally upon us and so we can shear the sheep to ensure that they don’t get too hot or get fly strike.

As we need every penny to go along way in helping animals, we don’t pay anyone to sheer the sheep, we do it ourselves, volunteers work for free!

We sheared two on Friday night after work. whilst Joe public was watching TV or going out, we were knee deep in wool. We sheered another three on Saturday and have two more to complete.

As we shear them, we vaccinate and worm them, as well as trim their hooves and give them a good health check.
