The shearing photos are of pedigree Lleyn sheep at Whale
Farm, one of the Lowther Farms, in mid June 2005. The shearer
was one of a team of three working on contract for Lowther.
The sheep are about 15 months old, are in their prime, and
each weighs in excess of 80Kg. This being strenuous non-stop
work, the sheep probably weigh more than the shearers do
by the end of a hot day
