Baa, Baa, Black Sheep, Have You Any Wool?

Today we loaded up the trailer with the Chessers' sheep to get a haircut. We had a great adventure riding through the vast terrain as we drove to the farm where we would watch the sheep be sheared. We were able to meet America's national sheep shearing team and be educated about the process of cutting the wool and sorting it.  We even had our very own, Meagan and Katie, help wrangle the sheep so that they could be groomed. After our great trip, we had a yummy packed dinner at the park in Roswell. We then headed to the Roswell Wool Warehouse where we had a fascinating demonstration on the process it takes to sell the wool.
