On Joan Ellison's farm volunteers help shear and skirt fleeces, trim hooves and feed lambs.

On shearing day on Joan Ellison's sheep farm people come from far and wide to volunteer to help skirt fleeces, trim hooves and feed lambs. After 40 years of tending to her flock Joan's passion can still be felt through her haikus she writes about daily life on a small Western Minnesota farm.
