Still going

Still got the washer and dye pots going, in between packing. So glad the weather is great for outdoor work. Tomorrow it maybe raining, which we really need. Only 2 yearling does left to shear. Trying to work out the hauling so I can take does and bucks to the angora goat show. This time of year can be difficult with the bucks in rut. Not sure if I can get them all on the trailer, without them breaking down the divider door. The camper on the truck will be loaded with fiber.I feel relieved that I have two good farm sitters lined up to take care of the animals at home, always my biggest worry. The goats going for show will have to have feet trimmed, tagged, and vet checked. So much work goes on behind the scenes to put on a fiber festival, from the volunteers that work year long setting up and running the show, to the producers that bring their animals and fibers for show and sale. We are very lucky to have a fiber festival like SAFF to provide a market for small fiber farmers to sell their wares. I hope everyone will come out to support the show.
