Farming Activities

Moving the sheep from place to place is usually done with the help of sheepdogs. Sometimes bikes, trucks, horses, and helicopters are used.
With the sheep in the yards, the farmer carries out things like tailing, drenching, marking fat lambs, and drafting different types of sheep into groups.
The woolshed is where shearing and crutching are done.

Shearing is removing the whole fleece.

Crutching is removing wool from areas to keep them clean.
