Things are looking a little different this shearing season… 🐑✂️
For as long as we can remember, shearing has always been during the school holidays. Growing up, that was just how it was — we were the sheep dogs, the extra set of hands and wherever Dad needed us.
But Big Valley has gotten a whole lot busier these days, and apparently juggling school holidays, a campsite, parenting AND shearing 1,500- odd sheep is one too many hats. 😂
So for the first time in 40-odd years, we’ve moved shearing to the week after the school holidays.
Which does mean our campers will miss a bit of the action this year…
Unless you fancy wagging school. 😬😂
We didn’t say that though. 🐑
