Sheep are wearing protective outfit of their show coats.



The owners have to go through a lot of preparation to get the sheep to be show ready.


Does the hose look familiar? It's the blower that us Angora exhibitors use.


The boer goats are not as time consuming as the sheep, there isn't any blowing or clipping visible in the show barn.
