Steve has also had a pre-spring shave - although not with the sheep shears (and the other end)!

A Close Shave
One of the jobs in the countdown to lambing is shearing the back ends of the ewes, known as 'crutching' or 'dagging'. This keeps them clean and also helps control blowfly strike later on in the spring. We're half way through - 200 to go!

Great photos! Especially of that really wild bloke who seems to have onto the island. Must be really scary with him around ;-))
