I could never be a sheep shearer... because I’d lose my job almost immediately for spending too much time informing shorn sheep that they are now “Nakey.”

Thank you for showing humane, efficient shearing. The sheep look like they had no trauma whatsoever..

What a sweet couple, I enjoyed watching that video so much. I wish them much success xxx

She is amazing! She looked no bigger than the sheep and had total control of them. Impressive, for sure.

I'm glad someone is able to do that while being gentle to the animal. That's how everyone should do it. Good job!

Now that's how you take a sheep to the baabaa shop. Jokes aside, it's impressive how you aren't so rough on the sheep, and the coats after shearing look so nice and fine like a freshly cleaned carpet.

6:41 sheep with a black heart. So beautiful.

Annabelle made me want sheep. She is really special.

About a decade ago, I was at a certain central Ohio university, in a class, talking about wool, with sheep all around. Invited, I walked into the pen in front of me and in a moment already had one of the biggest laying back against my legs. 7 minutes later, the fleece in one piece, the director of the farm who had brought the sheep asked how the hell I had done it on that particular sheep...... as I continued to sing and had another sheep ready to go..... Yes, sing..... I always sang to my goats and they never failed to let down their milk...... This is what is lost in today’s world....

Happy new year 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧

Molly really knows what she's doing ! Awesome job ! 👍🏻

It looks like Molly knew what she was doing. She did a great job. Your animals look great, it is easy to see they are cared for properly. I like your videos, they have given me many ideas I have tried on our small farm.

Glad Molly addressed how not to pull the skin or wool up so the sheep aren’t cut by the shear. Once I watched a sheep shearing contest in which one of the shearers cut a sheep on the neck. Not surprisingly the sheep started to get a little panicky after that. Fortunately the cut wasn’t deep. Anyhow, nice work by Molly and interesting to see the ewes’ look post-shearing.

Molly has jujitsu skills for sheep, you can tell she knows exactly what she is doing. Nice that she explains the positioning and what it does, really great stuff. She is a true professional.

That['s gotta feel SO much better. And it would be fun to collect the fleeces for a few years from each of them, and then have them skirted and spun! The colors are lovely and would make such nice natural colored yarns for weaving, knitting or crocheting!

I’m from the city but I’ve always been casually interested in owning a vegetarian farm (no killing, just harvesting) and these videos are really fun to watch for me! :)

That's a good friend to have. That looked like a combination of a Turkish bath massage and the first day of boot camp. :)

I spy a heart on Penelope's shoulder!

That girl is freaking awesome!!! She manhandled that ewe like it was a stuffed animal!!

That second spotted sheep was really nice..Molly you are very unique for sure!!

Annabell is a clever girl

Does a neat job shearing . . . cheers.

There is one use put it in your nesting boxes your chickens will love it

have learned more from Molly than from many other videos, great job

That is a lot of hard work shearing sheep. All done without a stand to hold the sheep. Molly has a strong back to be able to hunch over and work that trimmer so well.

My goodness you did a good job on that I wish you lived close to us

Great job Molly. Dan what a differance. I enjoyed warching her work. She is very gentle with the animals. Very nice.

Annabell was beautiful! That chocolate brown for her wool omg

Nice to see Molly back in business! She used to do my sheep before starting a family. Very nicely done!

The second sheep she sheered had a black heart on her and it transferred to the fleece. It was up by her shoulder. Amazing

Okay this handspinner is drooling... what a lovely color she is

Beautiful! I have never seen wool so seamlessly shorn. Thanks for sharing!

She did a great job

Good job .. Shearing is a relief for sheep.

Ba Ba Black Sheep Have you any wool! What a lovely Fleece! Also, it is SO nice to see a gentle sheerer! The last time I saw a sheep get sheared...it involved some wounds from rushing! Wool is supposed to keep slugs away from your leafy crops...So if you have a garden with hungry slugs...

Great video done by an expert who made us feel we can do it too..thank you so much for showing us how it's done! :)

They look so svelte without the fleece. A beautiful job and nice handling. 👍👍👍

Thanks so much for this demonstration. I'm new to sheep ownership and found the tips for handling very helpful!

penelope has a heart shape spot!! Cute!

At 6:46 that sheep has a perfect heart! Talk about wearing your heart on your sleeve (shoulder!) Too cute! Did Molly or you (Dan) comment on that while she was shearing?

She was AWESOME!!!! Wow! Great job and super cool to watch. I bet the sheep feel better too. Though, it’ll be hard to pick Annabelle out of the crowd now. LOL TFS! God Bless ~Lisa

That was me going to the barber for the 1st time after they opened back up

I LOVE Penelope's coloring!!! Quite a vast difference from my boring ol Suffolk x Hamp. crosses!!!

That was great. I loved how Molly shared tips..especially the finger in the mouth. Great site..loved your music too!!!

Ohhh that was satisfying to watch all that wool come off. Your girls look great with less wool..lambs are growing fast too..

Always praying for you Dan👍

This is one of my favorite videos! Thanks for sharing this awesome sheep sheerer. I can't wait to learn how to do it myself someday. :3

Another great sheep video! Keep em coming!

Professionals make it look so easy! What a difference in the looks of the sheep, especially that spotted one (not sure of her name). I'm sure they'll thank you in the heat of summer.

She makes it look so easy to do! :)

Cool video!!!!!

So cool! could you do a video where you go over all your new lambs and talk about which ones you think are breeding quality, the percentage of Dorper and E fresian in them ect? It would be really interesting.

Great job Molly.

Penelope is a good girl a cute sheep

Annabel is a clever girl

So awesome! Wish you were in FL to sheer my (future sheep)!

Nice work Molly

They look so nice now. 😃

She was amazing how in control she was. The sheep never seemed stressed. On a separate note, we haven't heard from Emmet in a month. I know he was discouraged by the poults he was losing, hope all is well on Goat Berry Farm. He is in my thoughts and prayers.

Wow! You all are so impressive! Great video. And good job on Paul Wheaton’s video. 👍🙌👌

Impressive sheep shearing... where are they at on Facebook/website? Tried the website and it didn't link to anything.

Annabel has cute 🥰 wee face

now its hard to see them from the others but i bet they feel great

long live the homesteaders!

Shear Genius

She makes it look so easy... I can barely trim my shitzu

great job

What good girls the 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑are

Farmer: "About this wool quality is there any value to this?" Sheep: "Uhhhh" 4:45

Really wish I could have her teach me how to shear! I'm in Iowa and have shetland sheep, they are a wool sheep breed. Great video!😄

It's like shaving off a rug! I wonder how much weight each one lost?

That was very impressive! Dirtpatcheaven is a handspinner...I wonder if she would be interested in your wool?!? 👍

Annabelle is a good girl

Ok Molly..YOU GO GIRLL💪💪

when he said annabelle i was very surprised since that’s my first name

Good job Molly, I'm about to shear my Dorpers for the first time .....I'll let you know how I do ! Regards from the Hunter Valley in Australia.

I like ya cut G

The baby was like "Mom, can you shear that guy's beard first?"

She did an awesome job shearing! Just like in the pro videos! Did the lambs still recognize their mothers, they looked so different and smaller! lol

The steel she’s talking about is called a gut and short gut, and they cut the wool a hell of a lot better then an electric hand piece. It’s gotta be going at least 3300 to cut the wool or it tears it and ruins the comb and cutter real quick as hell as not feeling good for the sheep.

LOVE this video! If y'all decide you need it spun, let me know! (I know this video is a year old)

Irk what was your family problem but I do hope it is better n if u could text me I would like to know what the problem was ...that us if u don't mind telling me...I've been with u since b4 Justin Rhodes came to visit u....but didn't c u as often i do ( or did) in the last year plus ....stay healthy/happy/n active/ love all your vlogs ....very informative !!! Cook more often...please!!!

Way cool way cool

I was wondering what you were going to do with those wooly sheep. BTW, I heard some people use subpar wool as nesting material for brooding birds. However, I'd love to see if you all would experiment with cleaning and processing the wool for say a rug or animal blanket.

I always wondered why you had some wooly sheep and some not but now I know. Its about time for me to shave my fluffiest buck goat. He is older than the rest and cant deal with the heat and happens to be the stinkiest as well as fluffiest. I would rather sheer a sheep than shave a goat anyday

My hair sheep is bread with dorper which dose not sheed the wool so she is normally su post to sheed it but has not so I have to start sheering her

Omg I've had dogs named Anabel and Penelope!

HANDSPINNER HERE!,,,,,

What months are good to shear and how many times a year should this be done

Very interesting video! Molly is a real pro at it!! Will you sell the wool to a spinner, or? Also...will you learn to do this in the future or continue to hire it done? TFS

i wished you could have kept the original audio

So what shear brand is that by the way?

fresh peeled sheep

What size of blade or comb are you using?

Dan, do your Khatadin ewes provide you with any milk at all? If so, can you tell the difference in taste or quality from the Friesian mixes? I have always figured (planned) on just having hair sheep (American Blackbellies) and getting what milk I could from them as I am the only milk drinker in my house. However, if hair sheep milk is not so good....I need to develop plan B.

Can they bite when you are shearing

How are you not cutting them? For some reason, i always cut them

You better make those socks

Would LOVE to know what brand of shears Molly recommends! We decided to do our one sheep (Friesian/Dorset cross) ourselves this year, bought a decent looking pair off Amazon and they were a total nightmare! They wouldn't even make it through the top layer, let alone getting a nice, close shear like she's getting here. No amount of oiling or adjusting the tension made a difference. And my arm is still shaking trying to type this from the vibration after 15 min of use. Halp!! (Pretty please!)
