Shearing season is currently underway at Lake Hawea Station, and we proudly celebrate this important time with our partners. At LHS, shearing is more than a routine task—it’s an experience crafted with the utmost respect and care for the sheep. Under the stewardship of Geoff and Justine Ross, the farm prioritizes animal welfare at every stage of the process. Sheep at Lake Hawea are gently moved in their friend groups, and the shearing process is designed to be as stress-free as possible. Rather than focusing on speed, shearers are rewarded for their gentleness, with soothing music in the background and soft mattresses for the sheep after shearing. This thoughtful approach embodies the farm’s broader commitment to sustainability. |
