Sheep shearing

The sheep flock is almost ready to shear, their pasture grass is long gone, and not much is growing since we have had no rain. I wanted to over seed some clover and other grasses onto the pasture this fall, but without rain it would be a waste of money. I have many bags of compost and all the barns need cleaning, so there is plenty of organic fertilizer ready to spread. Haven't turned the ram in yet, so there may not be any lambs this spring, just depends on how much I can get done before it is too late for breeding them. The calender  just isn't in sinc with with the weather and I can not stay ahead of my chores. It was just way to hot to clean barns this summer and shearing was delayed until it got a little cooler. Now it's a challenge to get everything done before winter sets in.
