  1. CW: Minor wounds to alpaca from shearing

    #Ozzie stressed out during his #shearing & managed to get a couple of nicks from the clippers as he struggled with the #shearer.

    Chaser was fine though & came out of it with no wounds.

    Toenails on both were cut & Ozzie also received red antiseptic & stitches to the larger nick above his front right shoulder.

    The shearer also doses them while he’s here. (De-wormers & vaccines) #alpacas

  2. 2025 Mono photographic awards

    People category. Winner. In the shearing sheds

    In the shearing sheds depicts Amy’s eight-year old son, Kahu. For Hughes, the image tells a layered, authentic story. ‘The image speaks to rural life, generational roles, and the connection between humans and animals.’

  3. No one expected shearing activities yesterday, least of all the sheep. (Soay are supposed to shed their fleece every year... but this one didn't.)

  4. 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...

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  12. Almost done; two more sheep and Hubby's hair ✂️🪒💈to shear! 🤣 We will have to finish the last two 🐑🐑 next weekend as it's back to the day job for Hubby tomorrow. I'll bet he can't wait to go back! 😆 #shearing #SheepOfMastodon

  13. 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

  14. I'm just sitting here in the barn, taking a break before I start skirting #fleeces. The rams are in, chewing their cud, horse is beating the flies under her fan, and #swallows are chattering away in conversation, trying out nests to see which is suitable. #Shearing #SheepOfMastodon #Wool

  15. We sheared Orca today and his #fleece is so beautiful to me. I can't wait to make something out of it. #Wool #SheepOfMastodon #shearing #fiberarts

  16. It is #sheep #shearing day at our place. This involves luring Betty (on the right) with a bucket of sheep nuts into the pen. The other two won't do that so we have to chase them until they tire and grab them. No one enjoys this. Layla (middle) is not bad, she gives up quite quickly and lays down (true to her name, but she already had the name when we got her). Millie (left) is the worst. If she wasn't so silly Layla would probably enter the pen for the sheep nuts like Betty.

  17. Clove and Warbler have been #sheared, had their pedicures, received their vaccines, and are ready to be returned to the rest of their flock. Clove's fleece was very small, but super fine, crimpy, and lusciously soft! 😍 #shearing #fleece #wool #fiber #fiberarts #SheepOfMastodon
