Shearing Shed

Once upon a time before Dairy Farming gave great payouts, sheep farming was a very big practice in New Zealand. This old Shearing Shed would have been  abuzz with the sound of handpieces Shearing the wool off the sheep, shearers bent over like half shut pocket knives taking the wool off with fast steady clean blows and Rousies throwing the fleece on the tables for sorting and grading. Shearing was always a busy time and great to watch shearers in action. But that was in a past life for this old shed.
