Sheep Shearing Day

Sheep Shearing Day

Come out and watch as we shear the sheep. This is the start of processing the wool from shearing to being able to use it to make something. Our day and time is tentatively set for April 3rd at 2pm. Only staff will be hands on with the sheep. Volunteers and observers will be in the barn helping with the wool to get it out and we will have a seasoned wool worker help teach how to skirt the fleeces. If you would like to volunteer at this afternoon event please call us at 276-773-3080 and our staff will take your information and get you ready for the day!
