Shearing & Drenching
The sheep were shorn on 30 October. Steven and Russell both helped. On the Monday prior I drenched the sheep with drench from a neighbour, as I had lost three sheep in the two weeks prior and I suspected it was from worms. I sold the wool the very next Monday for $291.88 (shearing $106.03 and crutching in March 2011 $97.70). I have since lost one lamb, so I now have 20 sheep (including ten ewes, one ram and nine lambs - five boys and four girls).
