Fig. 1—Sheep brought in for shearing should be spelled before shedding up, otherwise the pens in the shed get very dirty and much wool is stained. Where possible avoid a dusty road for the final ap to the woolshed. Dust can lower the value of a clip, sometimes by pence oer pound, besides being hard on combs and cutters. Fig. 2—Draft off wethers from ewes and oggets from adult sheep before shearing. Hogget wools are finer than the leece from grown sheep, and wether and ewe wools can differ considerably. Fig. 3-Dagging sheep before they enter he shed is sound practice. One daggy heep can stain quite a few clean sheep when penning up is in progress. This green stain is looked on with disfavour by the wool buyer.
