[Jacob-list] shearing

[Mary Hansson]

Sue and all,
 
Shearing in 40-50 degree weather would be like heaven to my sheep.  We shear the third week of February and invariably get a cold snap around that time.  The weakest sheep sometimes have problems, but I notice that all the sheep bunch up and sleep closely together for a couple weeks---then spread back out.  Have done this for 4-5 years now.
 
If you notice your babies---they shiver for several days as well when they are born.
