The sheep shearer must have a back of steel in order to last all day doing this work.

A Hinge in Your Back?
Mar 17
Chris is the owner of the sheep and this is one of her favourite jobs. Any job where she gets to handle the wool is a joy for her. She is "skirting" the fleece. Going over the entire clip to ensure that any soiled parts are removed before storing it in a plastic bag.

 

Chris happy with her hands in wool.
The first year that Chris and Alex moved to the farm the sheep were in a greenhouse. It was a bit before shearing time and we got to see the shearing as it happened. While showing people the process Jeffrey commented that the "peeled" ones were in the other pen. After the peeling is finished.
The skirted fleece are stored individualy in these plastic bags. The Final Product.
