[Jacob-list] Shearing question

[gotothewhip at aol.com]

We live in Colorado.. It is 76 now, but was cold not too long ago, and will be cold and snowy again....

We sheared the last week of? January and have no issues.

Rather than asking when folks shear and getting a range of months I'm wondering at what temperature is it safe to shear?? Being in the Chicago area we can have 30 degrees one day and 60 the next....when is it "safe" to begin shearing?

Our first baby lambs for the season have finally arrived. Twin lambs, one ewe and one ram lamb. Twill is the proud mama of Tiramisu and Dartmoor. As Daisey entered the barn, the llamas and alpacas walked casually away form the scene of the birth. It appeared, that Twill had a large group of confident supporters.There will be other lambs?to follow in the coming weeks. I am not particularly found of the cold Pennsylvania winters, but this makes up for every minute of it.
