Black Sheep Gathering - 1

So Black Sheep Gathering.

We Left Humboldt at 4Am….

We were trying to get there in time as our friends from southern California were showing at the CAGBA ( colored Angora Goat Breeders Association) national show.

The ride there was lovely as we saw sheep along the way


We got to the show and saw Allen from Eureka Mohair

Then some sheep…

Then mom and I decided to go look at fleece from the fleece show… Big mistake… Giant mistake…

WE looked at fleeces. There were a lot of awesome ones., but most of them weren’t for sale.

We decided on two Icelandic and walked outside where there was 35 or so people waiting…To get in and buy the fleeces, I had not bought one here, at most places I have been it is different. Someone mentioned those crazy bride dress sales, because this year there was only a third the number of fleeces there were last year.



There were twice as many behind us. I asked mom if she would bail me out of jail for smaking down a 50 year old lady for a fleece.





We got our fleeces…

We then went to the hotel and took the silkworms out of the box.

We then had dinner moms and mine.
