The Wrinkly Rams Shearing show is an exciting and informative addition to any itinerary. When planning a trip south to Queenstown or if you are traveling from the Queenstown and Lakes District of Central Otago, all roads lead to Omarama and The Wrinkly Rams.
The Big Screen Experience and High Country Sheep Muster where the sheep are brought down from the local mountains for shearing is a must see for all visitors.
A live merino sheep will be shorn on stage by our professional shearer, who will provide you with further insight into the shearing process and the many fascinating facets of the Shearer.
See how some of the best fine wool in the world finds its way to the Fashion Houses. See a live sheep shearing demonstration using traditional Blade and Machine Shearing methods.
Another part of the show is the dog trial, which is held outside the building on the farmland. Watch as the Border Collie heading dog works her magic and brings a mob of sheep together from out on the farm and gets them to go into a special pen, all by using her eyes.
This is all live and un-staged - there is no knowing what the sheep are going to do, and it is a fun aspect of farm life to watch and enjoy.
And to finish a quick visit to the art gallery for the best of local Artwork, features a variety of styles, including landscapes, oils, watercolours, abstract and modern art.
