RECOUNT TEXT
A visit to a sheep property
Orientation :
Last holidays I
visited a sheep property. I helped in the shearing sheds and in the yards.
Sequence Of Events
:
On the first day
the Merino wethers were crutched. I helped by sweeping up after there use about
picked up the wool pieces. Shearers start early (at 7.30 am).After lunch, we
started shearing the lambs. There were more than 400 so we didn't finish
untilthe next day. Once again I was sweeping and picking up dags. I was tired by the end of the day in
the shed but our work wasn't finished. We all had to help to get the wethers and lambs back
into the paddocks. As well, we had to get a mob of ewesand their lambs into the
yards for shearing the next day. Then it was time for tea (that's what my nanna calls dinner).
Reorientation :
This was a very
long day but I enjoyed it a lot.
