James loves helping Dad in the shearing shed. Above he is testing the comfort factor of the wool.
Just completed shearing the stud ewes. Shearing was early this year (11mths wool growth) due to extreme staple lengths. Translated into wool cut, this length across the entire flock meant we averaged 7.5kgs with no belly wool included.
The ewes also had 110% lambs on them which made the feat even more impressive. The quality of the wool was most pleasing being white, crimpy with plenty of lustre.
The shearers seemed to enjoy the good combing, wrinkle free skins. They commented on how good the sheep were and how they wished they were getting paid by the kilo!
