[Ansteorra-textiles] Fwd: CVM Cross Fleeces

[sscott at datuma.com]

Would anyone be interested in splitting one with me (preferably
someone fairly local, for convenience)?

Also, I'm a little puzzled as to why they are being sheared in
December.  Can anyone with more sheep knowledge explain this?
And what does "heavily skirted" mean?
