We had all of our sheep sheared on Friday and Saturday by Lorrie Reed’s shearing crew. Thanks to everyone for all your hard work:
- Lorrie Reed and his crew, Logan McDermit, Laverne Struck and Wayne Loewen;
- brothers Guido and Edmund Cousins from New Zealand who stopped in to help;
- Ken and Grace Small who came to give us a hand on Friday;
- Reba McNeill who drove 3 hours to do some shearing on Saturday;
- Heather Ireland and her son, Julien who came from Regina for Saturday;
- our daughter-in-law, Charlotte who looked after the meals, feeding everyone as well as keeping the shearing chute full.
Thanks so much, everyone! ”Many hands make light work”!
767 sheep were sheared in about 10 hours!

- Our grandson Tyrell, 7, “stomping the bellies”.
-
- Our little grandson, Hunter, 4, watching Lorrie Reed shear.
-
- Hunter wanted to “shave a sheep” so he got to give it a try with Lorrie’s help. I think Uncle Logan was pretty proud of his little nephew for wanting to give it a try.
-
- Grandkids, Hunter – 4, Taylen – 5 and Tyrell – 7 came for awhile to watch and help
-
- Heather Ireland and her son Julien, from Regina were such a big help on Saturday. She even sheared a couple of sheep with Lorrie’s coaching. Thanks, Lorrie for your patience and taking the time to mentor ones who show an interest in shearing.

- Five shearers keeping busy.

- The neighbor’s kids who live in town and their friend were quite entrigued by it all. They thought the wool was so cool and were thrilled to take a piece of wool home!

- Loading the wool. Who needs a tractor when you have strong young men from New Zealand to help!
