Hello ...

Here are the pictures of us shearing those 2 sheep:

Here is the tool we used:

Here is the fleece from the 2nd sheep (you can see the 1st fleece on the lower left corner, it was a mess)

And here is the end result ..

not to bad for complete beginners with no one to show us how to do it isn't it ?

if the sheep is still a complete sheep.. i would call it a success... I'm still optimistic that we can get the same mobile shearer bloke i know off. mind you we have nto got the sheep yet...

what have you done with the fleece?

The sheep are indeed still complete ... no cuts or anything ... and as far as I know .. they are still alive now after a couple of months !

as for the fleece .. my girlfriend is into felting so we will try that ... but so far it's still needs to be cleaned ..
