View inside a farm building where a team of men work to shear sheep and sort the wool. The building has a pitched roof made of corrugated tin with low walls. On the right is a table where a group of men stand in a row sorting the wool. To the left are several men, each shearing a sheep. At the center stand three men, two dressed in suits with hats, the third looking at the camera with one hand on his hip.
