“ A visit  to a sheep property “
Last holiday . I visited a sheep property . I helped in the shearing sheds an the yards . On the first day the Merino  wethers were crutched . I helped by sweeping up after the rouse about picked up the wool pieces shearers start early ( at 7 . 30 a . m ) .
After lunch , we started shearing the lambs . There were more than 400 so we didn ’ t finish until the next day . Once again I was sweeping  & picking up dags . I was tired by the end of the day in the shed but our work wasn ’ t finished . We all had to help to get the wethers & lambs back into the paddocks .
As well , we had to get a mob of ewes & their lambs into the yard for shearing the next day . Then it was time for tea ( that ’ s what my nanna calls dinner ) . This was a very long day but I enjoyed it a lot .
