Sheep Shearing School

The Shearing School remains a hit at the festival. Jim Bristol and his crew of expert shearers will teach shearing technique, equipment care and setup, sheep handling, wool handling, and other basic sheep shearing skills, in a sheep shearing trailer designed for proper sheep and wool handling.

We will supply all equipment or help you set up and use your own equipment. You will get the one-on-one instruction needed to learn this craft. School is limited to 16 students, so sign up early.
