It's time again for the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival

Yesterday, two friends and I returned to the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival in Jefferson.

We started the visit by pondering some of the bumper stickers in the parking lot.

We're not in Dane County any longer.

One uses angora yarns to knit these Bohus hats.

Angora Rabbits.

Show Angora Rabbit.

Although we saw many angora rabbits, the focus is on the sheep.

We watched some herding trials. We said, "That'll do, Pig."

The lamb looks like a creature that isn't big enough for its skin. Think Lamb Chop.

Cooling off.

I was excited to see these puppies.

*     *     *     *     *

These are not Border Collies. These are English Shepherds from Goochland Acres/Asylum Farm. The breeder is doing a great job of preserving the line of these marvelous dogs.

The doggie wearing the yellow harness is a heart melter.
