Caption: ELECTRIC SHEARING. Twenty four hundred sheep, shipped to the Mississippi Valley stockyards here, are being sheared before being fattened for the summer market. The sheep are sheared with gasoline powered clippers, about four minutes being required to shear a lamb. With the old type hand clippers, it took a man a day to clip 25 sheep, now he can do in the same time.

The front and back of this photograph are pictured below:
