As it is snowing up a storm and still pretty cold here in the Northeast, when is the optimal time to shear the sheep??

We (meaning a 21-year old hired shearer with a strong back) sheared 110 ewes. I would post photos on my blog, but I'm exhausted from watching him (and skirting all that wool and sweeping between fleeces) AND my camera has gone missing in all the frenzy. I hope it didn't get in one of those big bags of wool...<br /><br />Isn't it nice to have that job done?
