Wagon bed used during sheep shearing, 1904 Item Info

A two horse team hitched to a wagon bed on which has been built an open framing covered with poultry wire, and in which are six sheep and a man shearing one of the sheep. Temporary signs on the wagon are turned except for one, which reads "Dorset." The driver is dressed as for a horse show. Men in suits in the background look on. Old Botany (now Carrie Chapman Catt Hall) can be seen in the background through a heavy screen of trees. The photograph was taken in the fall of 1904, probably on Excursion Day.
