Baby Lenny got an off schedule haircut last night. As a Cheviot, she’s a once a year shear. It was nine months of growth and I wished it could have been longer, but she was seeming a bit uncomfortable.

From the smallest to the largest. Sunny bunny and Mo llama. All creatures are precious great and small.

I’ve been watching Mo llama carefully since his close friend Tina the alpaca passed last week. I brought home Honeysuckle and her boy for him to watch, and added this struggling ewe lamb today. He was pretty excited.

Got these Suffolk crosses (& one Dorper x) shorn in Creswell w/ my shearing partner Flora. Last year, she helped me there as her first job out of shearing school. This year she returned & did an amazing job! I love watching these shearers younger than I (which is nearly all of them) develop & grow.

This photo is of me last week at one of my client’s houses who wanted me to pose with my Jakoti hand shears. Part of my Shearing work is empowering owners to take care of their animals between visits helping them learn how to do minor shearing or more if they want to learn full shearing.

Mo llama is enjoying having Honeysuckle and her lamb at home. It gives him a job, but it’s also keeping him company since his best Alpaca friend passed away this week.

Time for cameos with Honeysuckle and her surviving lamb, the twin to the bottle baby that passed who I loved so much. Glad I still have his brother.

Oak habitat restoration work continues towards Crow. I think we have three to five more weeks of work as the densest area is yet to come.

I brought Honeysuckle home to help keep Mo llama company. He’s been pretty sad since his friend Tina passed away earlier this week.

Today’s Shearing stop was all about fiber Goats. It was a rough winter, and these guys were pretty heavily matted so it took a lot longer. But it was fun. The owners have become good friends of mine and so it was part catching up with friends.

Our dearly beloved and recently departed alpaca Tina Turner didn’t want her best friend Mo llama to be lonely without her. She sent these two deer to share his breakfast this morning. It’s been almost six years since I’ve seen deer behind our fences. Special morning for Mo.

Our oak habitat restoration continues off of Pine Grove. They are definitely in the dense section and the owner is helping to make paths for them to penetrate the tough brush. I love when property owners are excited about working alongside the animals as they work to clear the understory.

Moms and babies parade this morning in the Alvadore area. I’m slowly drawing it down for the summer as the babies get to the right size to help on more challenging grazing projects with their moms.

Yesterday, through tears after I realized I had lost Tina earlier, got a small flock of Shetlands off of Territorial shorn. The moorits had dreamy wool! The owner, who is an accomplished landscaper, gifted me some worm wood, which my animals nibbled on this morning.

Sheared 14 hair sheep crosses and Gotlands + 4 more for hooves with my shearing partner Geraldine today in Cottage Grove. Thankfully it was a little cooler today than yesterday. The Gotlands always impress w/ their reflective wool. So proud knowing one of my rams helped sire that beautiful fiber.

It’s with great sadness that I share that our beloved alpaca Tina Turner passed away last night of natural causes. I rescued her almost two years ago to the day (pic from her rescue day). No one could really tell me how old she was. She had her last banana last night with me and I found her this AM.

Peaches and Patti getting to know each other. I went to shear Patti at her house today and ended up taking her home. That’s what rescue friends do! lol—taking on each other’s hard luck cases.

Got to visit newborn puppies at my rescue friend’s farm. I so love baby puppies!

Got Jenny the alpaca shorn today for her owner out in Crow. Jenny used to dance around on me a lot, but she was a model citizen today!

Helped to lead the second eco grazing tour this week this morning on the McKenzie River Trust property that I loved so much near Coyote Creek. There was such vibrancy in the grazing area vegetation. The native plants are really coming back!

In addition to going a grazing tour today, I needed to trim some goat hooves in Noti for a few La Mancha and La Mancha crosses. Hoof health is so important!

A farm visit today while the owners were out of the country meant making sure this rolling llama was still alive.

This morning, I’m giving a tour of a park project graze that we were involved in for a long time last year. I was sad to see it not be continued, but I’ll be leading researchers, grant partners, and other people who might be interested in this type of work through the site this morning.

Oak habitat restoration work continues out towards Crow on this private property. They’re making progress but the densest part is yet to come. In another week+ the other moms/ babies will be joining this work group. I’ve been waiting for those lambs and baby goats to get bigger before moving over.

I sheared a micro flock of sheep and provided wellness care to their 6 goat buddies up in Corvallis today. Unfortunately, the owner wasn’t ready for me when I got there: no pen, no electricity and no animals contained. Nice folks that I’ve worked with before, but I was a bit delayed afterwards.

After my busiest shearing month ever in May for sheep and goats, it’s time to get camelids ready for summer. Got these three recently rescued alpacas done in Creswell. One was fairly wild & managed to kick me hard in the arm. I’m usually good at avoiding kickers but this one was very talented.

Perfect duckling weather

A dramatic sky this morning. Just a trace of rain on this busy shearing day.
