Prince Edward Island (PEI) is not typically known for sheep shearing on a large commercial scale like some other regions, but there are certainly farmers who raise sheep on the island and engage in shearing as part of their farming practices.
Sheep farming on PEI tends to be smaller-scale and often part of diversified farms where farmers may also raise other livestock or crops. While sheep shearing may not be as prominent or specialized an activity on PEI as it is in some other regions, it still plays a role in the local agricultural economy.
Sheep shearing usually occurs in the springtime when the weather is warmer, allowing the sheep to be shorn of their winter coats without risking exposure to cold temperatures. The wool that is sheared from the sheep can be used for various purposes, including textile production, insulation, and crafts.
