Sheep-shearing at Red House Farm   12th June 2009                    Features Index
Hot work for the shearer and his mate. Just over 2 minutes per sheep! ("Sluggish by New Zealand standards!" he said.) Mrs Sheep obviously felt silly in the new hair-do and the lambs had a job recognising their mother at first. This could be the start of your next woolly jumper - (or, more likely, your next bit of wall insulation!) (Ed.)
