On Saturday June 14 starting at 10 am there will be a sheep shearing of approximately 60 sheep at Crowhill Farms. The farm is north of Lindsay off hwy 35. Go to Cameron and turn right onto Long Beach Road (just past general store). It is the 2nd road on the left, 35 Ranchers road.
You can drop in and view, or stay and be part of a potluck. It is a great opportunity for children to see the operation, touch sheep, carry the fleece to a screening table, view differences in fleece, etc.
If you are interested, you can just drop in and view the process, but if you are staying for potluck you should let Leslie and Craig know so they are prepared. crowhillcorriedales@gmail.com.
Leslie also has an alpaca which will usually be in the barn. They seem to protect the sheep when in the fields. The sheering is done in the barn.
The fleece is put into large bags, about 500 pounds and shipped to a mill in Ontario.
