Squirt's fleece

Squirt's fleece is on its way to Irene in MA. Squirt was a 2# lamb born to Jewell about three years ago. He was raised on a bottle about a week until Jewell learned to squat for him to nurse. I appreciate Irene supporting my sheep farm, we have never met but she loves my longwools. She asked for Jewell's fleece, but it was not as nice this year as her sons, since she had twins last spring. Jewell is getting some age on her and this maybe her last lambing, it is hard to keep weight on her. She has two Cotswold-Cormo ewes to take her place, but she has one of the finest Cotswold fleeces I have ever seen and more luster than any of my sheep.
