big fleece in a small coat
Pardon me, ladies — you won’t mind if I take a peek under those coats, will you!? Sometimes that works, sometimes not. Some of the girls are starting to look like 10 pounds of potatoes in a 5 pound sack so I need to make sure everything is OK. If the coats get too tight, the fleece can felt underneath. Normally, we would be shearing in another week or two so I wouldn’t be too concerned. This year, we’re shearing later so some of the sheep may need another coat change before then. Looks like so far, they’re OK.
