I"m sooooo glad i asked ! Looks like i'll be shearing a few adults too the finn and finn X . got 6-7 lambs done, and about 8 more to go. then i'll work on some more of the adult ewes. i was hoping there was a finn breeder on here that would tell me what i needed to know ! and thanks for the other groups listed Mary ! so far the lambs fleeces are really nice - i can hardly wait to wash and spin them. i saved the shorter ones for last , since they will have to be used for felting since i need at least 3'' for spinning [for my preference] appreciate everyones comments !
