    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.’

  2. 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.)

  3. 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...

  4. 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

  5. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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
