We have purebred Finnsheep. They don't have as much lanolin in the wool as some breeds so I HAVE to shear twice a year. The lambs fall fleeces are wonderful. I am shearing mine now.
We had such wet weather this year that even one of my yearlings started to felt along her topline. Too much rain washes out the lanolin that keeps the fibers from sticking together. Grace http://antique_spinning_wheels.blogspot.com Fred and Grace Hatton Hawley Pa
