Back at the Afrikaner farm IV




One of the money making aspects was the raising of sheep for the wool. At top, the farmer shows us what a fleece neatly sheared off in nearly one piece looks like. In the middle, the sheep shearer, clearly and expert, handles and shears the sheep. Some of us, myself included got a chance to shear some wool. A challenge to do it well. At bottom, the students investigate the very thick fleece on the sheep.
