#Shearing has commenced! First two #SheepOfMastodon have been sheared!
#Ozzie stressed out during his #shearing & managed to get a couple of nicks from the clippers as he struggled with the #shearer.
Chaser was fine though & came out of it with no wounds.
Toenails on both were cut & Ozzie also received red antiseptic & stitches to the larger nick above his front right shoulder.
The shearer also doses them while he’s here. (De-wormers & vaccines) #alpacas

People category. Winner. In the shearing sheds
In the shearing sheds depicts Amy’s eight-year old son, Kahu. For Hughes, the image tells a layered, authentic story. ‘The image speaks to rural life, generational roles, and the connection between humans and animals.’

No one expected shearing activities yesterday, least of all the sheep. (Soay are supposed to shed their fleece every year... but this one didn't.)
