Hello every body,

Every year, just before summer, the local sheep herd is organizing a sheep shaving festival.
They organize this especial for the children so that they come familiar a bit more with how things work in nature.

They already shaved the complete heard the week before this day because that is a lot of work to do it in one day. They saved a couple of sheep specially for this day to show the shaving process to the people.

They also had a electric shaving machine but it was more educational for the people if they saw how they were cut in the old days.

They also invited a woman who showed the people how things worked in the past. She brought here own spinning wheel and made some thread from the freshly sheared sheep.
