We had the rams shorn today to prepare them for classing. It is so much easier to assess them without their scruffy winter coats. Some have started to shed but most will not have expressed their shedding fully until January ( unless it is a cold summer). It is sometimes surprising what is revealed when the shearer lets them go. The ragbag ram at the back of the pen suddenly has potential.
Not exactly Tom Roberts "Shearing the Rams" - lucky the local shearers are prepared to make do.
