 '''Shearing stations''' exist for the purpose of removing wool from [[Sheep|sheep]], work that requires such skill that sheep farmers appreciate letting an expert do it.  The station includes gates and pens for the management of sheep brought in to be sheared, ensuring sheep are not injured by crowding.  A section made to provide cover against the rain is large enough to protect 25 sheep, enabling their wool to dry; this drying is facilitated by the warmth of the sheep themselves as they cluster together.
-The remaining parts of the station consist of the shearer's living space, a somewhat more developed [[Hovel|hovel]] of mixed wattle, daub and slat board construction, made to support a family and potentially an apprentice shearer.  The population of a shearing station is reliably about 3-9 people.  Persons in the house will be one or two spouses, an elder or two, and children.
