[Jacob-list] shearing with fiskers

[Tom and Judy Riddolls]

so i biught myself a nice pair of fiskers from the sewing store and had a go 
just now at one ewe, no cuts and not a bad job really, left it a bit thick 
around the armpits and some places on her rear were the wool was so dense 
and matted that the scissors would not penetrate.  but here's the thing, now 
her two lambs don't know what i did with mom.  They stand around screaming 
bloody murder and mom, in her new summer coat is loving it out in the sun 
for once.  I assume they will understand that that skinny newcomer is 
actually mom?

I did the stand-up tied to a post method, a bit traumatic getting her tied 
up but fine in the end.  thanks to everyone who gave their shearing advice!
