About this work

Description

With rousing music, the film opens with footage on a sheep ranch in Australia. Comparisons are made between old and modern sheep shearing technology. Engineering companies like Cooper create the machinery needed in modern farming, contributing to prosperity. Swim bath showering pools are old fashioned; the sheep shower is a modern cost effective solution. The machinery and technology is amply demonstrated with effusive narration. There are manuals and contractors who will carry out the work for the farmer. Construction is demonstrated step by step.
