Shearing Registration

AgriLife Research and Extension Center, 7887 HWY 87 N, San Angelo, TX 76901 Instruction Fee: $250 per person, Texas resident; $500 per person, non-Resident. Description: This school is designed to train professional sheep shearers. Applicants should be 18 years of age or older. Youth under the age of 18 should reach out for more details. Students will be taught to shear sheep without restraints. The shearing technique is physically demanding to learn and use. It generally requires years of practice to become proficient. Sheep shearing is not a practice that is easily learned and employed on personal flocks. We do not recommend this school for individuals that want to learn to shear small flocks. Please understand that space is limited in this class, and not everyone who applies to attends will be accepted into the school. Contact Jake Thorne for more details: jake.thorne@ag.tamu.edu
