23. Dad Shears Sheep

This year Dad sheared the sheep with hand shears. One of the men from the phone company came to spend the week with us and to try his hand at this job. Next year we bought an electric shears. That made the job so much easier but it still takes a lot of skill and learning how to do it. It can be just too easy to rip out skin using the electric shears.
