~ The Cummington Sheep Festival ~

Part the Second

May 25th, 2002.

Sheep, sheep, sheep, all over the place!

Of course, this is what I expected. It was a great day for sheep, and listening to the gentle complaints of the ovine species, in barns and barns and barns.

Happy, contented young sheep.

Sheep sheering demos.


A lot of this was going on, demo or otherwise! I wonder if all the sheep ranchers save up their sheep to bring here, just to shave their sheep in public. Maybe it's the social element?

Shorn sheep.

bags o sheepwool
Sheep wool sheered and prepped for sale. I did watch part of a wool-dying demo.

tender tips o lamb
The food line served lamb-burgers and marianated tips of lamb,
bringing the life cycle around full force.
(I do have a rather dark sense of, well, whatever it is.)

To go back to the Intro/Jacob sheep page, do the Click Thang, and likewise to see the goats and llamas.
