SHEARING, FLEECE & EMD SCANNING – LEARNING IN ACTION!
A fantastic look at some of the hands-on activities at the 2026 Community Bank Gilgandra & Central West Bendigo Bank NSW Dohne Prime Lamb Schools Competition!
Students had the opportunity to gain valuable insight into different aspects of sheep and wool production, including professional shearing, fleece assessment and Eye Muscle Depth (EMD) scanning.
These practical demonstrations provided students with a better understanding of wool quality, carcase traits and the importance of measuring performance in the sheep industry.
A big THANK YOU to our industry professionals for sharing their time, skills and knowledge with the students:
CB Rural Contracting – Shearing demonstrations
Ben Simmons – EMD scanning
Quality Wool – Fleece assessment and wool education
Their involvement helped provide valuable real-world learning experiences and encouraged the next generation of agricultural professionals.
Check out the video showcasing the action from the day!
