Recordist's notes

This is the sound of Oliver Henry, June Moulder and Janet Robertson of the Shetland Wool Brokers judging wool on the hoof at the Shetland Flock Book. This involves checking the fleeces of sheep in their pens and judging their quality. You can only hear them faintly in this recording - the other sounds are a cow that was also in the Auction Marts, the sounds of the metal gates clanging, and a ram that was baaing.
