That time of the year ! by happypat

That time of the year !

Oh the indignity of it all !!!!

Henry having his annual clip !

This guy had his tee shirt on when he started but by the time nearly all the wool was off he was down to his vest !!!

Henry said he didn't really mind but wasn't too keen being watched so closely by a lady sheep !
Very nice photo. Nothing wrong in being a bit shy.

Ahhh. If I was Henry I wouldn't want some strange lady seeing me be revealed to the world.
Good shot.

lol! Poor Henry! I hope you kept his wool in honour of him.......:D

Oh, poor Henry probably didn't like this manhandling treatment at all...especially with his girlfriend looking on. (Don't tell him that we saw it too). But I'm certain he'll feel so much better with his new spring cut! :)

My oh my, and it looks like he's taking it pretty well.

Nice shot. Could be a name change time for a while ...Sean?

Not original, I know ;-)

Fun description made me laugh!

Oh Henry, how could they do such a thing to you with all your pride and self assurance? Maybe we should turn them in the the local prevention of cruelty to animal's self esteem chapters

Utterly brilliant, too funny, he obviously doesn't realise you can't beat a new coat!!
June 3rd, 2012  
Great shot! Wow, that coat must be heavy!
June 3rd, 2012  
Hehe, wonderful shot Pat, I'm sure he will feel much better for it :)

Love the commentary

It always amazes me how quickly they are shearing the sheep, its hard work . Hope Henry is pleased with his new look.

Bet they wish they still had their wooly coats after the weather this weekend! Nice capture Pat, especially the lady looking over the hurdle! Looks a nice set-up there.

I love a Henry photo and story. What kind of sheep is he?

Ah poor Henry - great sheep-shearing action!
