2022 Notes
april
Time to sheer!
When it becomes April, it is time to sheer the Angoras and Nigoras. The Angoras twice a year and the Nigoras, once a year.
This year, I rounded up 3 grandchildren to assist me. It was an all day affair with 9 to be done. All in all, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it could have been. We got two big barrels of fiber which now have to be processed.
As you can see, my poor goats look like a chenille bed spread! Not easy to sheer even with help. I just need more practice!
