Gave the larger sheep — Aretha and Anisette — 1.5cc and the rest of the girls 1.0cc. Beautiful day with a mid-day temperature of 44°F (6.6°C)

Ironically Anisette was the most cooperative, while the rest kicked and fidgeted. Manta and Caramel are looking a bit on the thin side. Gave everyopne some corn to help keep them warm, but it is unseasonably warm, so they probably won’t need it.

Video from just after the shearing.

Suggested worming the llamas once a month from May to December and that the sheep are a little skinny. Sunny and cool. 50s.
