Re: Wet Sheep
Love it 
cunning buggers those shearers and I know all about wet wool and the problems that causes.
Can't imagine a shed that big....though way back when of course the sheds were much bigger than they are today..ours was small fry a 3 stand and our mob usually done in well under a week so our shearers never got a chance to get stroppy.
Here's a piccie of one of the biggest modern sheds I have seen. This is on 'Terrica' at stanthorpe

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Re: Wet Sheep
Wow Maureen, that's a beauty.
There were some really big ones in the early part of last century, North Tuppel used to have 72 stands, Isis downs in Queensland still has 52 stands. I think its primarily a tourist attraction these days.
