Sheep Shearing Demonstration at a Fair in MA

 

 

 

Our friend Chris O. went to a fair in MA and shares the photos of a sheep shearing demo.

Sheep are getting anxious.

Shearer starts with a black sheep.

The sheep is no match for the masterful shearer.

A fleece is born!
 

The shearer uses a spindle made from a CD to spin the freshly shorn wool.
