Notes for Fiber Sheep Show

New things I've learned this week - thanks to Oogie McGuire and others from her black welsh yahoo list -

  • DO NOT wash your sheep for a fiber show. At most, use a cloth and water to wipe dust off.
  • DO NOT card your sheep out
  • DO use a cut side of an onion to shine hooves and horns without getting oils in the fleece
  • DO cover your sheep
  • Burrs come out fairly easily when crushed!
More soon as I prepare two of our sheep for the Shenandoah Valley Fiber Festival, October 27th and 28th in Berryville VA. You can view the information on the show here.
