Where do sheep go....

to get their hair cut?

To the "baabaashop". (Sorry, couldn't resist that one...)

Each breed of sheep has a distinctive look; some are shown in clips as elaborate as the snobbiest Standard Poodle. Others are...well...nekked.

This market lamb is shorn close, the judge needs to get a good look at those lamb chops. The young man is drying the lamb, after his early morning clip and wash.

This Icelandic ewe (lady sheep) is one of the so-called "primitive" breeds, meaning they haven't been messed with genetically. They have truly extraordinary fleece. Along with the Shetlands, they claim every color you can imagine. Cut that stuff off and give it to a spinner or knitter, and you will have a life-long friend...after you pick out the straw and other vegetative decor.

"Yo, mon, put de lime in de coconut..." or whatever. This is actually a Cotswold from Merrie Olde England. The dreadlocks are a mystery.
But a nice "do", for naturally curly hair.

"Hey, it's that David guy. With the big clippers. Hang on to your curls, girls, he's fast!"

Yep. He's fast.

This is sheep AD. After David.

"We don't HAFTA do this, ya know. We do it out of the goodness of our hearts. Looking dumb (more than usual) just when the weather is getting nippy is just part of our job."

What's THIS??? First you cut it off, to make clothing for people, then the people have to make clothing for YOU?? I gotta think at this...

Hey, did you ever wonder how a sheep gets to sleep....?
