About this word search
A shearing gang moves from farm to farm in the season, with shearers, rousies, shed hands and a wool classer. The skirting table is where the dirty edges are pulled off each fleece, and the belly wool and dags go into separate piles. New Zealand has bred its own sheep breeds, such as the Perendale and the Coopworth, and the Romney is one of the most common breeds in the country.
The grid is eighteen by eighteen and the words go in all eight directions, backwards included. Skirting table is the longest at thirteen letters, followed by Golden Shears and black singlet at twelve. Comb and dags are only four letters and easy to miss. Wool bale, wool press, woolshed and wool classer all start with WOOL, so check the rest of each word.
This sheet is a good one for a rural community or a smoko break. Afterwards, see who can name the most shearing words not on the list.
