Wool Classers and Shearers Sort Premium Merino Fleece Inside a classic corrugated iron shearing shed, skilled wool workers methodically grade and sort freshly shorn Merino sheep fleece across expansive sorting tables. The industrial workspace buzzes with focused energy, as workers in dark shirts and work attire carefully handle the creamy, dense wool, spreading each fleece to assess its quality and characteristics. Fluorescent lighting illuminates the textured, curling wool strands, revealing subtle variations in color and texture - from bright white to soft ivory. Multiple workers move with practiced efficiency, their hands moving swiftly across the metal sorting tables, separating and preparing the premium wool for further processing. The shed's robust steel framework and functional design speak to generations of Australian agricultural expertise, capturing a critical moment in the wool production supply chain where raw fleece is transformed from livestock product to valuable textile resource.
