084 Shear a sheep


Week 43:1

Sheep shearing is a lot harder than I thought it would be. After watching the master at work and learning how to sort the dags from the wool and the correct technique to sweep I was handed the shears. It started off promising but after a mishap in concentration (I was looking at the camera instead of the where I was shearing) I managed to cut the sheep (there was blood...arghh!). After a bit of a struggle I managed to shear the sheep. I only did one and man was my back sore.

Thanks to Lynda and Terrance for there great hospitality again and Joel for having ago.
