Students came from Kentucky and beyond to participate in a two-day sheep shearing class beginning Tuesday at UK’s C. Oran Little Research Center in Versailles, Ky.

Professional sheep shearers taught students how to use and maintain shearing equipment as well as how to shear a sheep.

The C. Oran Little Research Center is home to a flock of 350 female sheep and an animal research center.
