These Corriedale rams were in full fleece, their photo was snapped before the March shearing.
This is a blog about sheep specifically Corriedales. Corriedales are a dual purpose meat and wool breed that perform well for both uses. They produce great fleece that spinners value highly. Our farm is in central Illinois.

Pretty and slick shorn
This shows how bright white her wool fiber is. I put a Sheep Suits sheep cover on her to keep the white wool.. white! She will not be sheared again until next year, March 2014.

Fantastic Shearer
This sheep shearer does a great job shearing the sheep. He glides the clippers safely over the lamb and shears it in less than 5 minutes.
