Every year we debate long and hard about when to actually shear the sheep. Shear too early and the sheep can die from a late spring storm, wait to long and they suffer from too heavy a fleece in the summer heat. We typically sheer in mid to late November. It’s December already and we haven’t had warm or dry enough weather to shear. The current weather report for next week says we will finally have warm weather – both during the day and at night – and no rain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In hopes that the weather report is right we have prepared for shearing. Clean shearing machine. Oiled and sharpened blades. Extra machine oil. Clean, sorted wool bags. De-wormer, silver spray. Extra ear tags. Foot clippers. Wooden floor for shearing. Fence panels to control the flock. Skirting table repaired and set up. Old ration bags for waste wool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All that’s needed is dry sheep and good weather. If spring permits, we are shearing our flock next week! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparados, listos, esquilamos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cada a\u00f1o hablamos mucho sobre cuando vamos a esquilar las ovejas. Esquilamos demasiado tempranos y las ovejas puedan morir en una tormenta que llega tarde en la primavera, esquilamos demasiado tarde y las ovejas sufren con los vellones pesados en el calor del verano. Normalmente, esquilamos en el medio de noviembre. Ya es diciembre y todav\u00eda no tenemos un tiempo suficiente seco o caloroso para esquilar. El pron\u00f3stico por la semana que viene da un tiempo lindo – por el d\u00eda y la noche – y sin lluvia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esperamos que el pron\u00f3stico sea correcto. En caso de que s\u00ed, hab\u00edamos preparado por la esquila. Esquilador el\u00e9ctrico limpio. Cuchillos y peinadores afilados. Aceite por la m\u00e1quina. Bolsas de lana lavada y sorteado. Lombricida, bactrovet, y caravanas. Tejedoras de pezu\u00f1as. El piso de madera para el esquilador puesto. Los paneles port\u00e1tiles para manejar la majada. La mesada para sortear la lana reparada e instalado. Bolsas de residuo para colocar los recortes y la lana de la panza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
