Maryland ~ Hard at work

When you take 12 Blue Leicesters to a show there isn't much time for sitting back and relaxing during the weekend. Your time is spent either setting up, grooming, showing, feeding & watering, answering questions, or packing everything up to go home. Well we did manage to get in some social time in the evenings with our fellow shepherds.
This is one of the ram lambs getting his first grooming on the trim stand.
*note the pouring rain outside - it lasted all 5 days and didn't end until we got to Ohio.
Here is the same ram lamb, all tidied up and ready for tomorrow's show.
He actually didn't mind the trim stand because he was so entertained by all the people passing by, and by those who stopped to admire him and give him a chin scratch.

Yes! He and his twin brother just made the cut off date to be entered at MSWF, which is Feb. 15th.
Their momma fed them well, and now she gets to have some personal time while she gains her condition back.
