Today has been so hot, almost tropical, and it was the day that the shearers came to town once more.
They have done most of the sheep on the farm at Fewston a couple of weeks ago but today there were 350 waiting for them here at Scaife Hall. I did go round and say Hello and take some pics but then hastily retreated back to my housework and ironing, which for once was preferable!!
The second picture shows some of the lambs which have been seperated from their mothers for the day to ease handling of the ewes. Theres an awful lot of shouting going on but they will soon be reunited.
Christy has done a fabulous job wrapping all the fleeces into the wool sheets and now they are ready to be sent away to the Wool marketing Board depot in Bradford.
Thanks Christy, you did a fab job!!
