This article desperately needs the attention of someone who is not an animal rights activist and knows something about sheep. SchmuckyTheCat 15:12, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I added to this from the top of my head as it didn't already have any referenced material.
Really this article could probably be a redirect to sheep shearing as on a commercial basis it is practically the same thing - it is done by the same teams of people. The award for shearers in Australia has a lot of room for working out on a shed-by shed basis how much is being done - just the rump, the face, the pizzle, or the whole belly may be done each adds a cost to the per head rate for the shearer's pay. I don't know that an industrial award is the best reference for this article though. Ga rr ie 23:10, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I've just made a major edit to the article. (I was only going to make one or two small changes ... oh well.) I grew up on the farm I now live on, which ran merinos at the time, and I've crutched a few sheep myself (mostly treating flystrike). I've also rouseabouted during the crutching of many thousands of sheep.
OTOH, my experience is limited to one part of Australia.
I made lots of changes, mostly moving text around but also adding some. Here's a summary:
Here's a passage I took out:
This seems wrong to me. Shearing sheds have wool-classers and rouseabouts to pull low-quality wool off the fleece. Maybe it's the superfine wool growers who do this? (Their sheep live in sheds, and their cost-benefit trade-offs are quite different.)
My thanks to earlier editors for lots of good writing in this article. I hope they'll come back and improve my work. Cheers, CWC (talk) 17:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
