The annual spring shearing of the 妻友 Agricultural Campus sheep flock occurred this week with 87 sheep being shorn.

The shorn wool is sold to a local producer who cleans and processes the wool into wool products such as comforters and sweaters.

Students from the fourth year 鈥淪cience of Modern Sheep Farming鈥� observed the shearing and assisted with packing the fleeces.

Shearers were Val and Amber Pederson from PEI. Val is an alumnus. Holly Hines is the lab instructor for the Science of Modern Sheep Farming course.
