What a Sheep is Worth to the Laboring Class
Donald Gunn writes to the Queensland Grazier on drought impact explaining sheep value to workers. He notes shearers and roustabouts earn small daily wages, and the drought reduced sheep numbers from 23 to 9 million, creating a loss of about 14 million sheep’s worth and billions in wages, plus slower spending by graziers.
