This includes dew, or in some cases frost.<\/p>\n<p>Sheep should be held off feed and water at least eight hours before shearing. The flock should never come straight off pasture to be sheared. Grass, and some hay, will build up gas and back up onto the lung area during shearing and cause what is called a gasper. If the animal is not put on its&#8217; feet right away it will die of suffocation.<\/p>\n<p>Stained wet wool and manure tags should be removed before sheep are penned.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid penning sheep in dirty pens or on bare concrete floors.<\/p>\n<p>White faced, white wooled sheep should be sheared first; dark faced or coloured wool sheep last.<\/p>\n<p>White wool and coloured wool should not be packed in the same bag.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.omafra.gov.on.ca\/english\/livestock\/sheep\/facts\/info_prepshear.htm\">Learn more here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Come to Sutton Fair and learn what&#8217;s involved in shearing a sheep.\u00a0 How is wool treated?\u00a0 How long does it take?\u00a0 How much wool does a sheep give?
