SHEEP SHEARING & WOOLHANDLINGSheep shearing is one of the most celebrated activities in Australian agricultural history and an iconic part of our cultural image. The first authenticated tally of sheep shorn in a single day was 30 sheep by a blade shearer in 1835. By 1892, the record stood at 321 sheep. Patents for shearing machines were granted from the 1860s and in 1882, Jack Gray became the first man to completely shear a sheep using mechanical shears. The method that most woolgrowers adopted was the Wolseley stand. Frederick Wolseley invented a handpiece connected to a power source - originally driven by horse power, but later connected to an external engine. The handpiece allowed the wool to be clipped up to three times closer to the skin than blade shearing. By 1900, machine shearing was the norm, although it was not until 1949 that Jack Howe’s blade shearing tally was broken by Dan Cooper when he sheared 325 sheep by machine. In 1986, WA recorded its biggest wool clip of 231,000,000kg.

MISSION STATEMENT

To promote the sport of sheep shearing before the public, and in turn encourage the growth and pursuit of excellence in the industry.

WOOLHANDLING Woolhandlers can 'make or break' a wool clip and in today's financial climate farmers are looking to maximise returns for their product. It is vital, therefore to have competent woolhandlers skirting and preparing the wool for pressing. 1. Stains, sweepings, dags, black wool and skin pieces

must be removed from the fleece, but care taken not to over skirt. Belly wool and wigs are handled separately.

2. Woolhandlers will be judged on the way they pick up and throw the fleece and the way it is positioned on the table.

3. Black wool is taken out at the time on the board, however no fleece can be skirted on the board and only one (1) fleece is permitted on the table at any time.

4. Fleeces should be rolled to have a shoulder visible for judging. They will be timed on the last fleece from when the Shearer has pulled out of gear on the last sheep.

5. The broom or paddle must be put on the table to indicate the job is finished.
