wool shed

Farm shearing building

A wool shed is a large building on a sheep station where sheep are sheared and wool is processed for sale.

Common in Australia and New Zealand, these structures typically contain shearing stands, wool presses, and storage areas.

The shearers worked through hundreds of sheep in the wool shed each day.
