With the current hot weather our flock of sheep will now be hugely relieved to be rid of their thick fleeces! The day we 'clipped' was a hot day and hard work especially for the clippers who had to haul all 350 sheep out of the crates, turn them over and then shear them!  Despite this there is always good banter and plenty of much appreciated helpers, but some people just didn't seem to take it seriously....!
