Wool Festival

Connor and I checked out this Wool Festival at a farm near our home. The family owns various types of animals (alpacas, llamas, sheep, goats) for their wool. They dyed the wool all different colors, made them into various crafts and clothes and were giving weaving demos. Connor could care less about the wool; he wanted to see the animals!

Here he is near a llama. This llama was really interested in Connor. Everytime Connor would move, the llama would follow him. We learned it's a little aggressive when a worker came by to warn us that "he's mean." Yeah, we moved on pretty quickly after that.


Already sheered goats in their pin.


Sheep waiting to be sheered. This one Connor is looking had a bit of an attitude. Connor said "ew, he's ugly!" to which the sheep butted the fence. A bit sensitive about his looks I guess. Connor was a little afraid of the animals after that. Check out those antlers! Good thing there was a fence between them is all I can say.
Then Connor saw this sheep being sheered. Doesn't look like it hurts the animals but it sure looks uncomfortable!

Connor checking out the wagon feeding bins. The sheep ran away from the food as he approached.
