Northern Michigan Lamb & Wool Festival
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.
