Another Sheep Tail!



Baa Black Sheep - Baa Baa White Sheep - Baa Baa Grey Sheep - Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep

It seems Britain could face a critical shortage of professional sheep shearers this year, they usually arrive from Australia and New Zealand in May to give a short back and sides to 200 sheep a day. The dearth of shearers is blamed on British government immigration red tape. The would-be shearers must go to Canberra for fingerprinting, and visas are delayed. All this could mean losses for the farmers and disease for poor unshorn sheep.
However, I doubt anyone would want to shear the poor rainbow sheep! Mark that's your sheep.
Anke yours is the Grey One! Guten Abend

  1. Hi Sally, OOHHH I like all the sheep. What color and kind of thread did you use for the gray one and the rainbow one? I like the rainbow one, she's pretty!

    That's too bad about the sheep shearers. Hope they get that mess straightenedd out soon.
