When you next see the Romneys – Griselle, Izzy, Rosemary and Biddy – they will look very different. Our Open House weekend starts this morning, and Jim McRae, our shearer from Vermont, will be here at 2 p.m. Visitors can look on. I wanted to give you a last look.

We trimmed Rosemary when we brought her here, and somebody did some shearing on Izzy, but I don’t think Biddy or Griselle have been shorn for several years. I’ll take another video later in the day. Fate is limping, but she is definitely better. Light duty for her today.
