Na pláni vo vysokých horách žije jahňa s vlnou tak hustou a lesklou, že ju predvádza v divokom tanci plnom vysokých skokov. Jedného dňa však príde o svoj úžasný kožuch a spolu s ním aj o svoju pýchu. V tom sa objaví Zajdalen, bájny múdry zajac s parožím, aby naučil skľúčené jahňa, že nie kožuch na povrchu, ale to, čo má vo vnútri, mu pomôže znovu si vyskočiť.
In the Australian Outback, the Carmody family--Paddy, Ida, and their teenage son Sean--are sheep drovers, always on the move. Ida and Sean want to settle down and buy a farm. Paddy wants to keep moving. A sheep-shearing contest, the birth of a child, drinking, gambling, and a racehorse will all have a part in the final decision.

Before shearing, done with electric devices and hand shears, lambs are separated from the flock. The lambs are not yet shorn but dipped in a disinfectant, parasiticidal liquid prescribed by law. For the auction, held in autumn, the sheep for sale are loaded on special trucks and transported from the pasture to the public sale.
