Thank you so much. It truly lifts the spirit to know that what we are trying to accomplish is being achieved. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement to continue working hard and putting out videos. I appreciate you. 💕🤘🏻

@@rightchoiceshearing you're very welcome and I mean every word. You have made shearing into an artform. You girls keep doing what you love and I'll be here watching! I just love and admire you ladies, you're both wonderful and I love seeing you working together. Not too many couples can work together that well. I KNOW there's no way I could work with my husband that closely day after day for those long hot hours without killing him and hiding the body. 🤣🤣🤣💜

Couldn't have said it better!!😊

SHEAR genius. **laughs** That's an awesome pun!

I simply adore watching you shearing all the animals that you always seems to know personally like they were your own. Your care and attention to detail so as to harm any vital parts is truly amazing to watch. I have to admit I love it when you get all the beautiful crimping in the wool, if it is Black wool it looks amazing so Gorgeous. Thank you both for sharing your passion for a job well done every time. Xx 🐝🌻🐝🌻

Same here! I was happily surprised🐑 Great video as usual😍

I have Katahdin sheep. They are hair sheep, so there is no need to shear. Their lanolin is like an oily film on my hands but my wife nor I have noticed soft hands. But we also use our hands a lot and rough skin in a normal thing.

I would have argued at a younger age that it didn’t because I wash it off. I have callouses and what not, but I’ve noticed a difference in how dry my hands get in the off season. So the lanolin must be doing some good!

I've never been to a barn that didn't have a bag or bucket full of leftover twins honestly 😅

There is almost always some laying around 😂

That is a build up of lanolin! Nice eye!

@@rightchoiceshearing Glad to know it is not sickness !

I only said it like 4 times at the end 😂 watching it back, it seems excessive but obviously worked 🤘🏻 thank you 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Sheep only have teeth in the front of their lower jaw. They have a hard plate in their upper jaw that they use to pinch the vegetation against as they move their head upwards to let the lower teeth shear the vegetation. So they could give a hard pinch but, as someone who used to train working stockdogs, I never met a sheep that tried it. Sheep that want to be aggressive butt. And they can butt really, really hard, hard enough to break a human leg if they hit it just so or to knock a human out. I was lucky to have Belgian Shepherds (the AKC knows them as Belgian Tervuren and Belgian Sheepdogs), who are continental working dogs and who were very protective of me. The single time a ram managed to sneak past my dog to butt my hand, my dog flashed in from nowhere and delivered a disciplinary nip to that ram's nose before the ram (or I) knew what was happening. That was the last time that day the ram tried that little move on me! That ram was also the reason the owner was hiring me. The owner had a Border Collie but the sheep had learned that they could bully the Border Collie and the Border Collie had given up on the sheep. Wouldn't even go into the pasture with them. My continental-style herding dogs didn't rely on eye to move the sheep, they relied on body blocks, grips (where they would grab a sheep by the leg and physically pull it around) and nips--they never injured a sheep but they sure intimidated those sheep who thought they could scare dogs. Those sheep learned fast that while they might intimidate Border Collies, the Belgians were unimpressed. One of the jobs my dogs and I used to do for various small flock owners was acting as living gates on shearing day.

Sheep don't bite. They jump, kick and headbutt. I've raised 100s of sheep over 11 years, never once got bit. I've gotten rammed and jumped into but that's it.

@@GrainneDhu tyvm. There are lots of YT shorts regarding guard dogs for livestock and I find that interesting also. Dogs have helped us live since we domesticated them.

@@joeh4295 ty.

@@lauriewilson4741 sometimes I wonder if we domesticated dogs or if they domesticated us. We two species just fit together so well
