Merino sheep crowd the curved steel livestock yards under the soft light of a late morning in rural Western Australia. A farm worker in a high-visibility yellow safety shirt stands among the woolly flock, carefully monitoring their movement and positioning during the drafting process. Another worker in a white top and jeans observes from the opposite side of the yards, their attention focused on guiding the sheep through the controlled sorting pathway. The landscape beyond reveals a classic Australian pastoral scene - rolling hills dotted with eucalyptus trees, dry golden grasslands blending into green paddocks, creating a quintessential agricultural backdrop. These dense-fleeced Merino sheep, prized for their exceptional wool quality, stand clustered together, their creamy-beige wool creating a textural mass against the steel yard infrastructure. The scene captures the precision and care of modern sheep farming, where technology and traditional agricultural practices intersect to manage valuable livestock with efficiency and skill.
