    What a great Millcast! Loved watching Gwen shear those sheep who even seem to enjoy the process. Congratulations to Amanda and Cody on the arrival of sweet Lewis, who looks like a very content baby. It was wonderful to see the community come together to help with the shearing which definitely went faster with everyone’s help.

    So wonderful to see the shearing and the steps -- I've been lucky to attend one once and it was amazing to see how shearing actually happens and the incredible shearers (it was a woman where I was too -- so thrilled to see the strength of women in the profession). Welcome to Lewis and how adorable to introduce him to the sheep already. Thanks for sharing -- and can't wait for Savage Heart Farm's wool offerings. 🥰

    Congratulations! So happy to see Amanda and Louis., here at last. And a fund day of shearing as I continue to read "Vanishing Fleece." I actually received my package on the 1st Monday and was reading about Eugene's shearing 500 sheep. Such fun. Thanks so much for sharing your world with all of us. A very Happy Knitter!!

    This looks like my kind of day! You should have "attend sheep shearing day" as a KAL prize! Amanda, I thought you were in labor when I was at the open house, you were squirming just a bit sitting at the check out counter. Congratulations on your beautiful, healthy baby boy,. Welcome Lewis!

    This was the best! I could have watched for hours! It was fun to see Cody wearing his hat! Amanda, Cody gave you a new "Read This" hat message: Quote Unquote Willing Volunteer. (Maybe you could just do quotation marks) 😀Great to see the baby & all of that beautiful fleece (+ the dog). Never saw a second cut by Gwen. She's terrific!

  • @sschoch2000
    @sschoch2000 10 місяців тому

    Congrats on the baby! I’m amazed at how seemingly easy Gwen makes wrangling those sheep around look. A question. I know lambing season is around now too. Do you shear the sheep before or after they’ve had their lambs?

    • @junctionfibermill
      @junctionfibermill  10 місяців тому

      We shear about 3 weeks before lambing begins. Getting all that wool out of the way helps us know what's going on when signs of labor begin!
