San Ramon’s annual Sheep Shearing Day is set for Saturday, April 25, with live shearing and family activities at Forest Home Farms. (sanramon.ca.gov) The event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Forest Home Farms Historic Park, and the city lists it as an all-ages program on its events calendar. (sanramon.ca.gov) The San Ramon Historic Foundation is presenting the event, and the city says visitors can watch the farm’s sheep get their annual “hair cut.” (sanramon.ca.gov) The April 17 city update says the program includes sheep dog demonstrations, a tractor museum, music, food, crafts and several exhibitors. (sanramon.ca.gov) Forest Home Farms is the city’s historic park focused on the agricultural history of the San Ramon Valley, and the site says it uses exhibits and education to connect that past to the present. (sanramon.ca.gov) That setting gives the shearing demonstration a practical frame: sheep shearing is routine livestock care, and the event turns that farm task into a public program with tours and exhibits. (sanramon.ca.gov) The city lists Sheep Shearing Day as a “City Partner Event,” placing it alongside other spring programs in San Ramon’s April calendar. (sanramon.ca.gov) For families, the draw is simple: a four-hour Saturday event built around live animals, working-farm demonstrations and hands-on attractions in a preserved historic setting.
