Thanks to Devin for taking the first two pictures!
Darla was very calm and well-behaved, which helped me do my job. I need all the help I can get, because I don't shear very often, so it's hard!
I finally finished right as it was getting dark. I clipped her ears with my hand shears, and discovered that she's missing good chunk out of her right ear. I wonder what happened? Dog bite?
And, she's LOVELY!
I'm thrilled with her! I got a really good deal for her, and now I'm almost wondering what's wrong with her. I know the breeder said she just didn't grow quite as long as he'd wanted. That's ok by me. He's into showing sheep, and I don't know that I'll show her.
I'll trim the leggings by hand tomorrow. It was getting too dark to finish! And I'll get more pictures of her.

Awww, now she needs a sweater.
And please tell Devin he takes very nice pictures.
I agree, Linda... those are great pictures of you, Katie. Way to go, Devin :)
Darla looks a lot more comfortable... a bit naked..but more comfortable.
That's great that she was so calm for you. She sounds like a really sweet girl :)
I am always amazed at how small the sheep are when they are shorn. You have a good back girl! It looks like Darla has boots on. Good job on the shearing.

Thanks Kelly, but my back and hamstrings are not very happy with me today!!!
I am impressed! That looks like quite a job. At least Darla seemed to be patient and cooperative. She does look like she is wearing very fashionable boots now.
Do you think she's blushing?
I also wanted to let you know I have a giveaway on my blog. Click on the What am I? picture on one of the right sidebars.

Great Job Katie girl!! She looks so much healthier now. I bet she is a tad cold with these low temps we're having here. How long does it take to grow? You really outdid yourself Katie! Love you, Momma
Wacky Word of the day: sorite - The Frito Bandito is at it again!!
