Shearing a HUGE Valais Blacknose RAM

We visit one of the biggest Valais Blacknose sheep flocks in Scotland to shear George, their top scoring Ram. Some of the hardest sheep to shear and that's only if we manage to actually lift this big boy onto the shearing trailer!

my hats off to the owner here , healthiest and cleanest looking sheep and spotless barn ive ever seen. Big georges temperament could only have come from being spoiled and well well looked after

Sheep in UK have to be indoors in winter. They need to be protected from cold and wet or they get sick or foot rot. They graze outside all summer. The farmers bring them into pens to sheer them for summer season.

@@raze956 I think you're taking the two as being some sort of opposite ends of the spectrum, which I'm fairly sure is not what's being said.. Pretty sure the intent was to say that if George, being as strong as he must be, had actually wanted to, he could have just as easily _not_ been calm and cooperative, and nobody could've done a darn thing about it.

@@westzed23 They were bred and created to be a dual-purpose breed, meat and wool, so yeah, they're pretty *thicc.* But part of what makes them so valuable, apart from how insanely cute they are and how sweet and friendly they are (making them much easier to keep and work with than some more skittish breeds), is how efficient their digestion is. Valais need a lot less food than most other sheep of a similar bodyweight to maintain their optimum physical condition and produce a similar volume of fleece.

@alexisgrunden1556 11 ай бұрын

@@westzed23 Yes, but purebred Valais are prohibitively expensive; partially due to the breed's low numbers, and also due to internet exposure. Once the internet collectively voted them as the cutest breed of sheep in the world? Prices shot through the bleeping roof. Even half-breed Valais will set you back a pretty penny. For pure functionality, though, the only way Valais could possibly be improved at all is if they were also a milking breed (producing ample surplus for human use). There's a few sheep breeds that the ewes are hung like Holsteins, but the Valais are not one of them.

@anastasiarose9003 14 күн бұрын

I have watched some videos of sheep being sheared after they've been left for years in the fields. If they don't get sheared, most of them keep growing their hair or fur and it will become dangerous to them. They can't even put their head down and their legs can't hold them up because the fur is too heavy. They look like rocks. So though they might look more beautiful with the thick coats, it's important that they get sheared, not just for their wool, but because it's safer for them. The ones that are in the shop and sheared consistently, like in this video, are gorgeous. I was impressed at how clean and fresh it all looks, and the rams look just as clean and fresh. I have never seen your videos before but I really love them. I will be back. Liked and subscribed, Anastasia USA
