    I believe this was taken for national geographic. All I remember was reading the photographer’s commentary which was pretty much a paragraph-long complaint about how the sheep kept falling over.

    Punk-Rock forever!
    He’s no sheep!

    (and yes, I am ashamed of myself for saying that)

    Actually,
    this is a photo taken by Yann Arthus-Bertrand at the French “Salon de l’Agriculture” a couple years back…

    You can tell whoever sheared that sheep didn’t know what they were doing, look how inconsistent the shear lines are, and the coat is in pieces in the floor. A professional would have left the coat in one piece, and the sheep would be completely smooth without the troughs and ridges.

    #4, I agree. Look - they left half the coat still on the animal! amateurs!

    RE Chaos, depends on the width of the cutter used as to how many troughs are produced, professionals (ie 200+ sheep in 8 hrs) usually cut pieces of skin off too, it’s nowhere near as clean as you make out.

    She’d look sexier if they’d left a little more to the imagination.

    I have a signed copy of this photo in poster size that I received personally, by the photographer, Cary Wolinsky. Yes, this was a photo taken and subsequently used in a National Geographic article on wool. The poor sheep - yes, they did fall over.
