Let ASI Know About Your Shearing School

October 7, 2024

The American Sheep Industry Association is excited about upcoming shearing schools that will take place this fall and in the spring of 2025. The schools provide an important opportunity to bring new shearers into the industry while also assisting developing shearers in their professional journey.

ASI asks that you share the dates, locations and any additional information you have with the association so that all shearing schools can be included in ASI’s calendar of events. Please email details to heather@sheepusa.org or call 303-771-3500, ext. 102 when they are finalized.

Additionally, ASI can provide materials for shearing instruction. These include printed shearing manuals ($20 each); shearing videos and the manual on a USB drive ($15 each); a shearing pattern poster ($5 each); and the Code of Practice for Preparation of Wool Clips booklet ($14). Prices do not include shipping. Contact heather@sheepusa.org for bulk orders, or purchase online at SheepUSA.org/shop.
