Not Amos Abeyta |
The sheep come in the front door all insulated and round and exit the side door ten
pounds lighter. That’s the weight of a typical fleece. Last year all survived the trauma of losing their wool but dozens were lost to the cold. This year one didn't make it, the
apparent victim of a heart attack. It was a back to earth moment that
underscored the uncertainty of life wrested from the land.

Great photographs, Steve, of the sheep shearing, particularly the third and fifth shots, which demonstrate the stark reality of the process. At times, the sheep seem complement and others, totally unhappy with the process. But in the long run, they probably feel better without all that weight.
So glad to see more of the book in prices......
