Lake Hawea Station - down on the farm!


Angus (Joe's Dad) told us about their farm, the 10,000 sheep and 250 cows live on their 6500 hectare farm

After the sheep have been shorn the wool is sorted into different grades, that is the best to worst fleeces.
                              Then the wool is put into the wool press and made into a bale.

The bales of wool are sent away.... to  China on a boat!!!

The sheep wait in the wool shed in pens for the shearer.

    I have been looking out for the bales of wool, but do not think that they have gotten here yet!
