Harrison took this pic and then reviewed it to find he had chopped off the guys head. What to do?

The Solution

Well, instead of moving the CAMERA up, Harrison just told everyone all afternoon to ‘just bend your legs down and make yourself little.” Most of us had no idea of what he was trying to accomplish, until I later figured it out.

We had a great time on Sunday. The weather was perfect, too. Brandon sheared 8 sheep & treated them for lice & trimmed their feet. I took fecal samples (I felt like a real doctor, the protologist kind) with my rubber gloves, then did the pre-worming microscope check for the worm egg counts. Once we dose them all for worms, we’ll have to do a recheck to be sure the wormer is effective.

We had lots of friends & neighbors watching the sheep getting shorn, helping with the skirting (fleece cleaning), and the big hit was feeding popcorn to the chickens. Here are a few pictures — too see more, check out Dagny’s blog for The Irish Ewe
