I agree, I found these videos to be very calming and relaxing like she's shearing my anxiety away while watching.

Same w me, a city girl that has limited knowledge on the subject but adores animals and appreciates the thoughtful care and beauty u bring to these lovely sentient beings😇🐑. Plus I appreciate all the explanations u shear w us (pun intended).

Great comments!

I feel the same! Love this girl!

Her narratives are always interesting and makes sense.

Is there a way to use these safety features on a dog who is matted and anxious…especially in her paws …I’m so afraid to nick her …she’s old and super sensitive

Ditto

Amen to that, KM!

Овечке небольно когда стригут

Agreed! I've never petted or interacted with a sheep or a llama. And this is more interesting than watching horse shoeing...

Thank you so much.🤘🏻💕

Ill work on that. The next month are videos I made back in '21. Ill get something going after that.

@@rightchoiceshearing Sounds good. Thank you!

Wow, Jonathan, that's a great idea!

@@donnakahriger25 Well, thank you!

OMGoodness, me too Zara. Plus I also enjoy the educational narrative❤🐑😇

I haven't seen any other shearing videos, but anything slightly untoward to animals, vamoose! It's the Right Choice for me😁👍❤🐑😇

Me too, KEPC. I find the only upsetting thing is the owner's neglect, but I understand that is out of Katie's control. All she can do is educate and give much needed care to the sheep.

Hey! the best way to tell is look for hair. It will be much coarser than the wool fibers. It is very obvious to a trained eye if hair is present. Your shearer should totally be able to give you an educated answer. 🤘🏻

There are some hair sheep breeders who have bred a Jacob line that sheds it’s fleece or won’t grow one.

Their not there

I do some goats but I’m not the best at them. They also like to scream and bite the minute you touch them. Combine that with the Odor of Billys and I try to avoid them if I can. I have a few in my route though. Everyone needs a trim. 🤘🏻

Hey! My advice is always Heiniger XPERTs, the sheep version. There is a very noticeable difference between shears and clippers. Now they run about 500 USD, but you’ll never need anything else. You can buy Osters for 400 dollars but it’s worth the extra for the upgrade. They are lighter which helps not tear up your arms while using and run cooler. The blades I’d recommend are 20 tooth combs. They reduce the chance of nicking as compared to 13s. Dorper have right skin so less chance anyhow. For sharpening, I recommend sending them to premier 1. Many people have success there and it’s pretty inexpensive. I’d buy two sets (two combs, two 4 point cutters) and you should have no problem completing the task. Remember to turn off your shears when your outside of the wool. They rely on the sheep’s grease, as well as oil you provide to prevent friction which will fill them hella fast. Best of luck

Not at all, the hair ruins it literally.

So she's like a pet that needs grooming. Hope her next time is sooner! 🙂

My daughter is a pet spa manager and she's constantly having to shave the mixes all the way down. Hotlanta is no joke when you're carrying around matted undercoats.
