// farmers friend, beggars ticks.. call it what you will?
hey, at our school farm we run a very small flock (about 9 sheep - hobby-type farm..) and they came back from a back paddock the other day absolutely peppered with the weed seeds. some of them nearly totally covered around their faces..
luckily, there arent any shows for the rest of the year (we show in black and coloured) but it'd be great to have them cleaned up.. (younger students from the primary school come up to pat them..)
is there any way to remove the seeds without damaging the fleece..? we've started doing it by hand but it seems to 'fluff' them up a little more than we'd like....
