BR 2-06: ---☆★Sheep Station★☆---

Don’t you think that the sheep of this book cover is very cute?! I have been fond of various animals very much since I was a child, so I would like to show a lot of pretty animals then. I wanted to become introducing and recommending everyone this cute animal’s book when I found out this sheep book in KGU library.


I am going to introduce this book’s content easily from now on. In spring it is time to shear the sheep on the one place. Some farmers ride up into the hills to look for the sheep. There are over three thousand big sheep there, moreover a lot of people help with the sheep’s work. The number of these people is about fifty people working. When I knew that thing, I was very surprised because I didn’t think that what about fifty people exist there until I read this book. Some dogs on the sheep houses have a lot of work to help the farmers get all the sheep together, too. According to this book, this is called mustering.

The shearers shear the sheep inside the shearing shed. It is very hard work, however a good shearer is able to shear two hundred sheep in a day. When I knew the thing, I was unbelievable. By the way, first they always check the wool to see if it is clean. Then they put the wool into a big sack. At large, it is called a bale. That’s news to me.
As a result, these sheep wool turn a rug, gloves, woollen socks, and so on. That is to say, if sheep were in the world, we could not use a rug, gloves, woollen socks, and so on now.


After I read this book, I thought that we have to appreciate to sheep. I was able to learn something about sheep from the book, so I really would like to read this book to everyone. Moreover this book is easy to see because there are a lot of pictures on this book. (356 words)
