We finished! It did indeed rain on Thursday, so shearing the last of the lambs was delayed until yesterday morning when both the weather, and the lambs, were dry. Yesterday we had an extended, but scheduled, power outage so this post about finishing the shearing was delayed until today. We actually sheared with the portable generator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how much of what did we actually shear? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a total of 43 adult (i.e. breeding age) ewes, 9 rams, and 26 lambs ( up to 1 year of age). Of the lambs, 11 are male and 15 are female. This years’ wool was of higher than average quality. I don’t have a final count yet of how many fleece have weak spots, but an estimate is about 4 or 5, which is lower than our previous average. We did toss three of the ram fleeces due to vegetable matter contamination (burrs, embedded seed pods, etc.), but that’s not unusual. This year’s lambs vary widely in age and so the fleece varied wildly in length. I will go through and do a ruthless sort by staple length after I sort the adult fleeces by color and staple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the moment I have a new mountain of wool sitting in my galpon awaiting the second pass evaluation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can start sorting the fleece just as soon as my father gets the dining room table for the guest house built. Which is held up by the tabletop not yet being done at the granite fabricators due to an influx of end-of-year orders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 Esquila Dia 4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Terminamos! S\u00ed, llovi\u00f3 el jueves pasado, entonces demoramos la esquila de los \u00faltimos corderos hasta el tiempo, y los corderos, estaban secos. Ayer tuvimos un corte de luz prolongada (nos avis\u00f3 anteriormente) pero demor\u00f3 la publicaci\u00f3n de esta noticia. Actualmente, esquilamos ayer con un generador port\u00e1til.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfAl final, cuantas ovejas esquilamos?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tenemos 43 ovejas de cr\u00eda, 9 carneros, y 26 corderos (hasta un a\u00f1o). De los corderos, 11 son machos y 15 son hembras. En general, la lana este a\u00f1o es mejor que lo normal. Pensamos la calidad es porque fue un a\u00f1o muy seco. Todav\u00eda, no tengo una cuenta de cuantos vellones son quebrados, pero me parece no m\u00e1s de 4 o 5. Tiramos 3 vellones de los carneros por material vegetal (semillas, mugre, etc.), pero esto es normal. Los corderos son de varias edades, entonces los vellones tienen mechas de varios tama\u00f1os. Voy a hacer un sorteo fuerte de estos vellones despu\u00e9s que termino con los vellones adultos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En este momento tengo una monta\u00f1a de vellones, me esperan para el paso segundo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Puedo iniciar a sortear los vellones por color y mecha cuando mi padre termina con la mesa de la casita. El granito de la mesa est\u00e1 demorada a la marmoler\u00eda con los pedidos del fin de a\u00f1o. \u00a1Espero que el granito viene r\u00e1pido!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
