Big Jim Baldwin



Jim Baldwin, my long-time shearer, participated in the Bouckville show this past weekend. Jim brought his wife Betty and several of his Merino sheep to shear. We were so grateful to Jim for showing the patrons of the festival how shearing is done. I was happy to finally meet Betty, the woman behind the man. Jim generously gifted me and Kimmie Cornerstone with some luscious Merino fleeces to take home and play with. Hmmmmmm, a fresh Merino fleece is more delicious than chocolate, which is the color of one of the sheep Jim sheared.
