Meet our shearer

Meet Donald King. He lives in Church Hill, Maryland where he and his family run a flock of 15 Hampshire/Suffolk wether type ewes for club lamb production. They show the lambs at county fairs on the Eastern Shore as well as at the Maryland State Fair.
Donlad has always sheared his own ewes since 2000 and in 2008 started shearing other flocks. In the spring of 2010 he decided to attend the Maryland/Delaware sheep shearing school, which greatly increased his skills and proficiency.

He loves to shear and enjoys the challenges that come with each sheep.
