Shearing Taster day
Not everyone’s cut out for the nine to five, and for many of your students life on a farm might as well be another planet, but it doesn’t have to be. This shearer tasting day provides an introduction to sheep shearing, and a career many of your students may not have contemplated before. Led by experienced Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) Instructors, this course is a hands-on, practical day that takes you through every step in the wool harvesting process.
