Abstract
This video is about lamb shearing. Torghut herders shear their lambs in early June. Herders believe that shearing lamb wool helps them have less wool during the hot summer and prevents them from various parasites. In the past, herders utilised lamb wool to make felts for their yurts. Nowadays, herders mostly shear the lambs and sell the wool at cheap prices. There are only a few people who utilise lamb wool nowadays.
