Shearing School

If you are interested in attending a future class, please send OSGA an e-mail requesting to be placed on the notification list. E-mail: info@sheeporegon.com

Participants learn how to handle the sheep, lay out and pick fleeces, use and care of shearing equipment, and how to disinfect and suture nicks and cuts to the animal should they occur. Students come away from the school with a certificate of completion and the go-ahead to shear small flocks for hire.

Class size is limited and fills very quickly. All fees must be paid in advance. Participants will need to provide their own housing and meals. Registration confirmation packets will provide camping/hotel information. There is no age requirement for students interested in attending, but they must be mature enough to handle full grown ewes in the shearing process.
