Here is Hawk's #fleece. 😍 This is my favorite fleece! It's EPIC! 🥰 It is like a lion's 🦁 mane.

It's a huge fleece, very curly and crimpy, with a long staple, and next-to-skin soft. I just drool everytime I shear Hawk. I think his #wool is MARVELOUS. I could keep taking more and more pics of it; I'm literally obsessed. 😄

We are done #shearing, but I have three more fleeces to skirt. To be continued...

We have two more rams to go and then we are done #shearing ! Yay!

Get a load of this guy's horns! His name is Indus and he is for sale. #GulfCoast #SheepOfMastodon

I had to do some emergency #shearing on a #sheep who had got a 1 metre piece of old fence wire caught in his wool between his back legs. An unexpected way to overrun your lunch hour and explain to your colleagues.
He’s happily trotting around with the rest of the flock now.

Quilt asking me to shear them was a mistake, telling me I could keep the wool to make socks was an epic mistake ... but we made it right XD

Chaser on his side on the ground. The green stain around his mouth is from him spitting at the shearer.The shearer made fast work of the alpacas. He was in & out within 45 minutes! He’s shearing Chaser’s belly in this photo.Both alpacas screamed throughout the shearing process. The shearer also trims the nails on their feet & does them with dewormers.The finishing touches on Chaser.

Our tiny little 1-year-old ewe, Spinner, gave us the finest, crimpiest baby #fleece we've ever seen out of our flock. So fine, it's like thread. 😲 #Wool #SheepOfMastodon #Shearing Someone will have a good time #HandSpinning this fleece! 😌 @fiberarts #fiberarts
