From Fluffy to Fabulous - The Clippies of Port Howard!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful snapshot captured by the talented Pete Oxford, we are transported to the picturesque landscapes of West Falkland in the Falkland Islands. Behold a flock of sheep, affectionately known as hoggets or one-year-olds, after their annual shearing session. These woolly wonders have undergone quite the transformation! Once sporting fluffy coats that could rival any cloud, they now proudly flaunt their newly shorn look. With their sleek and stylish appearance, it's no wonder they've earned the nickname "Clippies". Nestled at the northern end of West Falkland lies Port Howard, a haven for these adorable creatures. Spanning an impressive 200,000 acres, this sheep farm is home to countless domestic animals who contribute to the island's thriving livestock industry. The Falkland Islands are renowned for their high-quality wool production and these hoggets play a vital role in maintaining that reputation. Their fleece will soon be transformed into luxurious garments loved around the world. So next time you slip on your cozy sweater or wrap yourself in a warm blanket made from Falkland Island wool, remember these charming Clippies from Port Howard who made it all possible. Let's raise our glasses (or should we say shears?) to these fashionable farm dwellers and their contribution to our comfort and style!
