Have you sheared them?
Last June was our first co-op shearing.
Several farms all brought their herd to one farm. A traveling Shearing Team makes a reservation to be there all day. We had 54 total animals.
The team runs the show. They work off a pair of large soft mats. The animals are very carefully roped at front a hind legs and laid out and held firmly and safely. They must be restrained for their own safety—long necks, big legs and sharp as heck electric shears are not good to fight against.
The fleece is removed inone blanket off. The back and side, the first quality. Then the neck and legs are cut and collected separately as the second and third quality cuts.
There is a whole bunch to learn about the hair fiber length, thickness and binding quality to make yarn.
