This fawn Cria was born while we were shearing.
A dark brown Cria that is a few days old. He had to be kept close by his mom while she was being shorn.
This year Hubbert Farms took a different approach to shearing.....on the floor.
This fellow is the shearer's assistant. He spins and crochets too.
Me, waiting for the blanket to be sheared and then I transfer it to the skirting table so I can skirt and sort it.
An updated pic of the lambies. The oldest lambs are now two months old.
Here's my girl Lacey with her one month old lamb Lilly.
Lilly still has dark spots on her face and what looks like eyeliner around her eyes.
Lilly is a big girl. As big as some of the older, smaller lambs.
She's very friendly like her mom. Always nibbling on my hair or my clothes. So much sheepy luv at Hubbert Farms :-)

Sounds like a great day! :)
Do you have any Gotland wool for sale? I have a friend that is possibly interested. Actually, some of the fleece in that earlier post has ME interested lol
Love those pics! I can almost smell them and that's a good thing - I like the smell of the farm.
Jodi, I so enjoyed the shearing pictures. Thanks for posting. That little fawn cria is adorable. You are so luck to be the recipient of all that sheepie love.
Hi Jody, you are going to love your Patrick Green Supercard!! If you are not blending fibres usually one pass through the carder is all you need.
That alpaca fiber looks amazing. And its really interesting to see the different techniques people use for shearing-
