Skirting the fleece and wool classing. Posted by Hello

After the shearer is done shearing the sheep, the main bulk of the "good stuff" is taken onto this table where the fleece is skirted (trimmed along the sides), leaving the best quality wool on the body of the fleece, before rolling it up and chucking it in the appropriate pile. The wool classer (hidden behind the boy Andrew) is the one who decides which types of wool are grouped together, thus "classing" them into different piles.

Look at that big pile accumulating in the background! It got even taller just before I left.
