The Fabric of Canada: Shearing Ontario’s Shetlands

Shearing Ontario’s Shetlands explores the connection between farmer and shearer. Both Carole Precious and Don Metheral boast decades of experience in the Canadian wool industry and are highly regarded in their respective fields.

Carole Precious' family introduced the first Shetland sheep to Canada over 40 years ago. In the film, Carole recounts the story of bringing the breed to North America, how it has flourished since, and how the breed has become a favourite among wool enthusiasts.

Don Metheral is a legend in the Canadian shearing industry. He has represented Canada in prestigious shearing competitions around the world. Don offers a unique look into the Canadian shearing industry, sharing his wisdom and experience.

Shearing Ontario’s Shetlands is part of our film series, “The Fabric of Canada” which tells the unique stories of Canadian wool and the Canadians who transform it.
