We've weaned all the ram lambs now and are now watching fleeces. I'm doing ram lamb fleece checks from time to time to get an idea of which fleeces will be what colors and textures by shearing so I can plan my fall line of shawls, capes, and pocket wraps.  Rather than stress them out by snatching them up all at once, it's easier to sneak peeks while they're eating when they think their neighbor is touching them instead of me. Here are some pics of the fall lamb fleeces.
