I needed some white wool for blending with our black for new rovings, so I went over to one of the big range flock operations during shearing to purchase some.
The big flocks hire large crews to do the job. This crew had 13 shearing stations set up. The sheep go up the inside, get shorn, the wool drops out the back, and the sheep climb out the front. This particular flock was going to take two full days. They have about 2,500 ewes!
