EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1935 in New Zealand, where sheep farming was a way of life. The image showcases an important aspect of this industry - plunge dipping sheep. Sheep dipping involved immersing these animals in water that contained insecticides and fungicide, ensuring their protection from pests and diseases. The photograph captures the essence of historical farming practices, with a group of farmers gathered around a large trough filled with the special solution. They carefully guide each sheep into the water, ensuring every inch is covered by the protective liquid. This process not only safeguarded the health of these precious livestock but also ensured high-quality wool production. The archival nature of this print adds to its charm as it provides us with a glimpse into how things were done decades ago. It serves as a reminder of our agricultural heritage and how far we have come in terms of advancements in animal care. As we admire this illustration, let's appreciate the dedication and hard work put forth by those Welsh farmers who made New Zealand synonymous with quality wool production. This image stands as a testament to their commitment towards preserving their livelihoods while embracing innovative techniques for sustainable farming practices.
