After two years of Covid restrictions, I'm happy to say that I'll be doing our very popular week-long shearing school. The dates are March 20th through 24^th, 2023. It will be located once again at the Twinning Barn near Ukiah.

We will limit the class size to 28 students and we will have 5 instructors including me. The cost is $850 and is not refundable for partial participation. California residents will receive priority and local Mendocino and Lake County students can apply for a scholarship to reduce the cost of enrollment. Scholarships are awarded only after a student completes the course.

As we've done in the past, we ask folks to fill out the interest survey here https://surveys.ucanr.edu/survey.cfm?surveynumber=39994. Make sure you complete the survey immediately if you haven't done so in the past.

We will provide instructions on how and when to register on-line with a credit card

Our Empty Shearing Barn is Calling You!

(Visa or Mastercard) only to those on the interest survey list. It is a separate survey. 

With the exceptions already noted here, when registration opens on-line it will be a first come first in for the 28 slots. If you are on our interest list from years past and have never gotten in, please write an email to me, John Harper, jmharper@ucanr.edu and describe why you want to take the course. In past years the on-line class has filled in under 2 minutes.

We will take a few extras on the registration as alternates to be contacted if successful registrants' have to cancel before the first week prior to the school
