New Equipment

I have added some equipment to make wool harvesting a little easier.

A Grinder to sharpen my combs and cutters - and anyone else who wants to get theirs sharpened also!



And a Christmas gift was this tri-pod to make my equipment a "set up anywhere" portable shearing operation!



Shearing Season in Full Swing

What a great spring in Arizona.  I have been meeting so many new people and great animals. I am in full swing wool harvesting, shearing sheep and alpacas, a few goats...I have also been involved in a couple children's education days showing traditional methods of shearing/preparing wool/and hand spinning.  I can't believe all these experiences - so exciting!
