Fall is here! If you’re in need of fall shearing and/or hoof trims, reach out! My books stay fairly open for fall and can fit most people in any time! Just a note, I do limit my travel in the fall. If you’re outside of 45 miles, you will be considered with a minimum amount of 5 sheep.

My phone has been extra sensitive to my sweaty pockets which has made me leave my phone in the car while shearing which doesn’t help when it comes to posting pictures on social media 🥲 even though things are slowing down for the season, I’m picking up a few late shears. Had 12 Scottish black faces late last week after the heatwave, a few rescue sheep and today was a Shetland and a Tunis pair. Pictured is the big Scottish black face ram located at Iron Spring Farm.

Some amazing pictures came from Thursday’s shearing day of mostly Jacob’s. Thank you to Bob Wellmon photography for sharing these! To see more than what I’ve posted, you can find the full gallery at:

A cool 38 done on a hot 84° day 😮‍💨 thanks for having me out today! Can’t wait to see what pictures came from it 😊

On a side note, I will be checking emails and messages this week. If anyone is still in need of shearing *locally* I will be putting some runs together now that I’ve finished up with my returning clients!

Happy Mother’s Day to ewe! ❤️🐑

I’ve been too busy to post very often this season (or check messages, or check emails, or check voicemails 😅) but here’s a highlight from today after getting 7 cheviots done. Who knew there were sheep under all that wool?! Also, if you’re seeing this and thinking, “I sent her a message and she’s not responding!” I will check my messages this week. I haven’t had a day off in 2 weeks? Maybe more? My brain is a little melty and I don’t want to guarantee any new clients a spot until I have my feet under me after tomorrow. Monday I will be checking messages and try to respond to everyone by Tuesday evening so don’t lose hope until next weekend 😂 I’m one person trying to hit 100+ farms in less than 3 months before the heat really sets in.

Happy Easter from me, Barrett and Baby (the lamb)! 🐑❤️

Words were said, promises were not kept…but, as any good mother does, I’m blaming my baby 😂 FINALLY, the end of the schedule is done! Everyone should be receiving their date by this week. If you do not receive your date, please send me a text. I’ve been having a really hard time trying to keep up with emails this season, as some of you may have seen. I tried to double and triple check that no one was missed but after staring at the computer screen long enough, sometimes the names all look the same 🫠

Alrighty everyone! Texts/emails have gone out for people on the March and April schedules! Messages for May should be coming out this weekend. Again, apologies for the delay this season. If it’s not one thing it’s another. My mare had a freak accident while we were out last week that landed her in the hospital with a lot of after care so I’ve been falling behind on responsibilities. Mostly just getting on my computer and finalizing the last month (which is by far the easiest part of scheduling). I’ll be getting back to messages and emails either tonight or tomorrow night so please don’t fret if I’ve been silent! I promise if you are on the schedule last year or reached out prior, you’re on the schedule this year!
