While we can't all learn every trade, it is important that our nation doesn't lose these skills. I know I have more than a few pieces of wool clothing that keep me warm during the North Dakota winters! Thanks for your comments! Kevin Tobosa Dave, Shelly & Clint,

He came away with more that a few new techniques to try out. Curt and Wade teach the students in such a way that when they leave the 3 day school they are ready to go to work. And work he did! Clint sheared near 3000 sheep in his first year. We'd like to take this opportunity to let the people who organize this school know how much they are appreciated. Kevin - you did an excellent job covering this event!!! The photography is exceptional, great videos, and the article is very well written!! Thank you so much for getting this information out. This is about more than shearing sheep. What needs to be 'realized' is that as a nation, we need to strive to be more self sufficient. Our young people need to learn and appreciate the value of work. To depend on others to do our work for us only produces a weak, needy people. It was encouraging to see the number of students double from last year. Proof - there are still people out there who aren't afraid of hard work! Thank you!! This was our son Clint’s second year attending this school.
