Labocacenter’s Weblog

On the 19th of April the San Juan Wool Growers held their annual sheep shearing clinic at La Boca. We had fiber experts from the Mountain High Fiber’s Ladies in Pagosa Springs, Steve LeValley from Colorado State University and Pam and Doug Ramsey, local experts (http://laplatafarms.com/) on fiber come as well as a number of expert shearers that demonstrated their skills. La Boca had their wool sheep sheared as well as some Angora goats. On the 27th Sonny Gustamante will be at La Boca to shear llamas.
