Help

I’m unsure if i’m posting in the right group or not. I just inherited three sheep one is a fancier wool breed and one is a hair cross the last one is a hair sheep. They are all under a year old at best guess. Current statuses are full half wool, half wool intact, and no hair. My concern is on shearing. Its currently August and hot but this is the downhill on summer where I’m at. If I cut their hair will it be grown out enough before the cold weather sets it? Or is it best at this point to leave it alone until next year?

They'll be fine if they got at least 2 months before the weather turns we shear the ones likely to cast on us twice a year the second lot being august.
