Sheep Shearing Season In Kani Panka Village
Sheep shearers work in the village of Kani Panka, located in the Sayid Sadiq district, Iraq. Livestock farming is the primary source of livelihood for the villagers in this region. The annual shearing season typically begins in late April and continues through early May. This practice is performed to protect the livestock from the rising summer heat and to prevent skin diseases. While the wool is sometimes sold or used domestically to make traditional mattresses and pillows, it is often discarded or burned due to market fluctuations. (Photo by Sabur Rashid/NurPhoto)
