Markham Fair - Sheep Shearing

 This is my friend James. He grew up in Australia on a sheep farm with thousands of sheep, I can't remember how many thousands... definitely a lot.  He started shearing sheep at the age of 12.

This girl was only one year old and had never been sheared before, so she was complaining loudly for some of her sisters to come to her aid.  But she was in safe hands with James.

The fleece is almost completely removed. The wool grows constantly so each sheep must be sheared once a year.
