It doesn't pay much at all, but I think the cost of living down there is much cheaper. In fact, I've found a house to rent in town that sits on an acre for only $350/month, and the landlord is OK with my 5 cats, and me having a garden, and no extra deposit for the cats nor an additional monthly charge for the cats. And I would pay electric and water. I've been worrying myself sick all day trying to figure if I can make it on that salary, and just need to sit down with all of my expenses and go over everything, and also check around for cheaper car insurance. I would be bringing home less than $1000/month net. Thanks for asking, and I'll keep you posted. Pray for me to make the right decision if I am picked for the job. Thanks so much.Kathy in KYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02751231082025037722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941189502401134199.post-52842382403942181132010-05-26T10:18:33.936-05:002010-05-26T10:18:33.936-05:00Hi Kathy- I wish I could shear these girls myself ...Hi Kathy- I wish I could shear these girls myself but they are just to big for me. They go 250-275pounds so I have someone come in to do it for me.I did shear Oliver myself though and the smaller sheep.I have an Oster shear master I use.I have no problem selling the wool.It goes by word of mouth or at the Jefferson Sheep and wool show. I'll do a blog later on the fleece from the Romney and the Lincolns and also show you what and how I spin it.

Hope you're having a good Tuesday, and tomorrow on your day off you'll probably be very busy since it rained before. Around here all of the farmers are getting in and cutting their hay fields since it finally quit raining, and has been just a little humid, but very warm temps so the hay will cure well on the ground. Take care, from Kathy in KY.Kathy in KYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02751231082025037722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941189502401134199.post-12256887960488348732010-05-25T10:45:55.195-05:002010-05-25T10:45:55.195-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kathy in KYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02751231082025037722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941189502401134199.post-36573125153608722472010-05-25T10:45:54.636-05:002010-05-25T10:45:54.636-05:00Linda - I love the looks of the Long-haired Lincol...Linda - I love the looks of the Long-haired Lincolns! Where do you find a market for your fleeces? I meant to go to a Sheep and Fiber Festival that was here a couple of weeks ago, but it was raining. I was hoping to talk with some of the fiber artists to find out what type of fleece they like to work with, and also see what type of sheep are raised in my area of KY. Do you do your own shearing? And do you use electric shears or the manual blade-type shears? I'm curious to see which ones are preferred. I'm off to my job interview this afternoon. Hopefully everything will turn out fine with it. It's a 2 hour drive SW of Lexington, and they're on CST, I'm on EST. Wish me luck.
