The job
Worker will examine and sort fleece according to quality. Will estimate the weigh of fleece after
processing. Separate locks of fleece and examine fibers for length, diameter, elasticity and
color to determine quality. Examine fleece to determine presence pf dirt, straw, manure, stains
and moisture. Place fleece in container and mark wool grade on containers according to
government standard and quality. Will also set grading tables and fleece containers prior to
shearing and pack up grading tables and fleece containers upon completion of shearers so
they can be kept separate, as they must be graded and examined individually. It is important
that the wool graders and the sheep shearers work in cooperation with each other for the
proper handling of the wool. Employer will provide each worker with an emergency telephone.
