Well if you know me you know I’m a hound for goats. I talked my husband into going along with my sister to Lambtown. Little did I know that there was a also a boat up in the area that I was going to have go by and see. It was a win win cause we had a great time.

Lamb town had a lot of great fiber. They were dyed,raw,and processed. Some of the most beautiful yarns for me were the ones where they had used plants to dye the fiber, so the colors were natural, rich and beautiful.

One of the men that I used to work with at the Ag department is John Veitch, he is a shearer. He was in the shearing competition. I had fun watching him speed through a lamb in six minutes, since it takes me about twenty.

He always has that smile.

They are talking about how you need to sit them on their backside and not on there tail bone because it the most comfortable spot for them to rest on.

John shears here in California locally and may travel.
