          That is just too hot. We complain about the cold long winter but I think I prefer the cold to that kind of heat. Bet those sheep love the sheering.

            Yep, just a reminder that not everywhere in the world is cold wishing it was hotter.

                    Mallee, how long does it take a good "shearer"(?) to shear a sheep?

                    It looks like back breaking work being stooped over so much like that.

                    I bet the sheep are greatful to have that heavy wool coat sheared off.

                    How many times a year are they done? Are they sheared just before your "hot" summer season?
