I love how he knows the sheep from the neck to the belly to the end and can remove the excess and grade it. Interesting as to the point calculation. Also he mentioned a comment of a clean fleece. I wonder how a sheep is to stay clean per day but could understand that the young sheep could if they haven’t been out on the land for a long time. I guess location of these fleece would matter in a show? Also love he is wearing his Roadside Beanie. 😊. Thank you for the video.
