What does everyone think? I'm interested in hearing from sheep farmers as well.
Our summer here in the PNW has been a bust. The spring was so long and now fall is here. I think we had 2 days of summer!
We had to cancel our shearing twice this year due to rain and now I think it might be too late!
The evenings are cool, the weather is moist, and the alpacas seem happy! I saw a couple of them pronging around a few days ago when the morning felt like an autumn morning.
Has anyone skipped an annual shear when the weather was uncooperative before? Is it bad for the animals to go 2 years between shearings?
Thanks
