Simply Shearing

We keep shearing simple here. It isn't anything fancy, but it gets done. We take it slow and end up with a box full of beautiful fiber and most of the time a goat that looks like it has been sheared by a chipmunk. Thankfully, in a few days the little tufts of hair that are left curl up and they look so cute in their short new cuts.
