Sheep shearing is the process by which the woollen fleece of a sheep is cut off. The person who removes the sheep's wool is called a shearer. Typically each adult sheep is shorn once each year (a sheep may be said to have been "shorn" or "sheared", depending upon dialect). The annual shearing most often occurs in a shearing shed, a facility especially designed to process often hundreds and sometimes more than 3,001 sheep per day.
Sheep are shorn in all seasons, depending on the climate, management requirements and the availability of a woolclasser and shearers. Ewes are normally shorn prior to lambing, but consideration is typically made as to the welfare of the lambs by not shearing during cold climate winters. Shorn sheep tolerate frosts well, but young sheep especially will suffer in cold, wet windy weather (even in cold climate summers). In this event they are shedded for several nights until the weather clears. Some sheep may also be shorn with stud combs which leave more wool on the animal, giving greater protection.
Sheep shearing is also considered a sport with competitions held around the world.

The cultivation of silkworms are the purpose of producing silk is called sericulture. The healthiest silkworms are selected for breeding. The female moth lays many eggs at a time. The first stage of silk production is the hatching of the silkworm eggs, which takes place in a controlled environment. Once hatched, they are placed under a layer of gauze and fed large quantities of chopped mulberry leaves. The cocoon stage is the desirable stage for the silk producers.
