Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival
Our family packed up and headed down to Jefferson, WI, September 5-7,
to attend the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival and compete in the Crook
and Whistle Stock Dog Trial. This was our 5th year attending the annual
event. Each time we learn more about shepherding our sheep and build
relationships in the sheep and fiber communities.
I was nervous anticipating running my dog, Pedro, in our first trial, especially
after my wife’s success last weekend. Becky and I both improved on our 2nd
run. She placed 4th and I took 2nd.
David can shear a sheep in less than a minute. He shears professionally
all over the world. He did demonstrations throughout the weekend.
The girls took a class on wet felting. We hope to practice enough to teach it
as a class in the future.
Our camping neighbor, Jenny the potter, generously spent some time teaching
the girls how to use a drop spindle.
