San Ramon’s Sheep Shearing Day is set for Saturday, April 25, with live shearing and farm activities at Forest Home Farms Historical Park. (sanramon.ca.gov) The event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Forest Home Farms, 19953 San Ramon Valley Boulevard, according to the city’s event listings. (sanramon.ca.gov 1) (sanramon.ca.gov 2) City and Historic Foundation listings say visitors can watch the sheep get their annual “hair cut” and also see sheep dog demonstrations, the tractor museum, music, food and crafts. (sanramon.ca.gov 1) (sanramon.ca.gov 2) Sheep shearing is the removal of a sheep’s fleece before warm weather, and public demonstrations turn that farm task into a lesson on wool, tools and animal care. Forest Home Farms frames its programs as hands-on history tied to the San Ramon Valley’s agricultural past. (sanramon.ca.gov) That setting is the point of the event. Forest Home Farms says the park preserves and interprets the valley’s agricultural history, and Sheep Shearing Day puts a working farm chore in front of families as a spring outing. (sanramon.ca.gov) The April 17 city update lists the program under spring activities, and the Parks and Community Services page also posts it as an upcoming event for April 25.
