Approved submission
Here is my submission for the Shear a Sheep - Straw - Animal Care BB.

During the PTJ 2022, I sheared one of Samantha's sheep as a demo for the attendees.  Several attendees helped hold the sheep but I did all the shearing.  Attendees were allowed to try their hand on the other sheep.

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following documentation as pictures:
     - sheep and tools for shearing the sheep
     - progress of shearing the sheep
     - finished shearing the sheep
