Sheep farmers just don't miss going to the annual Sheep and Wool Festival in Jefferson, WI. We went on Saturday September 6th. There were lots of sheep, which only makes sense. There was a lot of wool too. Highlight of the day: The acquisition of a new tilt table for the sheep. This contraption will make it much much easier to trim the sheep's hooves. You simply lead the sheep into the apparatus through a stop gate, squish the clam-shell sides together to keep the animal snug and immobile; then tilt the animal onto its side, giving us quick and easy access to the feet for trimming. Much better than the sheep sling.
