Spring and early summer are two of the most exciting seasons as the year opens up to long days and light nights,
a green wonderland of grass and new leaves and of course, new life, with crias making their appearance.
It’s fascinating to see your breeding programme paying off in terms of quality, and it is the time to make more plans for the future. Shearing is also imminent and with that comes fleece evaluation and that too impacts
on your future breeding plans. I’ve been learning about ‘noodling’. I can imagine how good it would be to be able to unwrap a fleece that you have stored away with this method, intact and easily identifiable, whether you are planning to show it, spin it or get it processed. Better than fishing round in a bag where it appears to have grown another life and twisted itself to be almost unrecognisable!
