The sheep never resisted at all and was perfectly relaxed. If I didn't know any better, I'd say the sheep was enjoying herself!

Yes, some sheep squirm and kick some while being sheared because they either A) don't like to be restrained and held in one place where they're not free to move and walk around, and/or B) depending on the shearer, the shearing can feel too rough on the sheep and even get nicks and cuts (which the sheep would feel as an aggregating pinch, in the same way we would feel getting a little cut from something sharp). But in this video, this shearer did a very good job, was gentle, and the sheep was nice and relaxed, she didn't even squirm or kick once

A lot of that has to do with the sheep being properly fasted so she isn't uncomfortable. A sheep's rumen can hold up to 6 gallons of gas-producing liquid, which presses on their lungs when they're sitting on their butts. An empty sheep in a balanced position has no reason to fight = HAPPY SHEEP! :-)

Excellent upload, far surpasses any I've seen so far. His style of explanation is so wise yet simple. I've learned more from this video than any other. Coupled with Mike's/your upload, also from Penn State extension, on the set up of the machine, it may be all one needs to leave clean sheep and fabulous fleece to give to their wife. Now to get through the 16 raw fleeces, she says... LOL

This sheep didn't even squirm or kick once. She looked very relaxed. I think that some sheep squirm and kick because they're either getting sheared too roughly and getting nicked and cut a little, and/or some sheep more than others don't like to be restrained and held in one place where they're not free to move at their own will. Also, I've read that sheep don't like to be in any position where their legs and hoofs are sticking up and not on the ground. Sheep rarely at their own will leave any position where their legs are on the ground, they even sleep crouched down while still facing upright with their belly against the ground and legs curled up on the ground

Very good video! I tried a different method first and it wasn't working so I switched to this one and had much better luck. My only complaint is that a couple of times when the camera changes to the ewe's face instead of the shearing and then changes back to the shearing it skips some of what he does in some critical areas like the left front leg. I'm still struggling in some of those areas but getting better.

So concise and easy to follow, theres plenty of good videos on shearing but you are so much easier to put into practise because of the way you do it. Also get that ewe a fucking beer fella she sat there like a bloody champ😂

Looks like his comb teeth are touchign the sheep skin - wonder how he makes those long motions without the teeth stabbing them or cuting them all to heck? Dad went to hair sheep years ago because the last sheep shearer in our area would leave them a bloddy mess.

Why is there always a tag on the ear

@GreenIronGarage 6 жыл бұрын

The tag on the ear is to identify the animal, without it, it would be impossible to keep records. Many if not all states also require a Scrappies tag if the animal will ever be leaving the farm. Scrappies is a disease found in sheep and the tag has the farm's identification number on it, so if it has Scrappies it can be traced back to that farm.

Tatyanna Robinson The only pain is in your lower back if you've been at it all day and aren't used to it. The sheep is completely relaxed and is not uncomfortable at all. Even if it was uncomfortable or painful for the animal... it would be much less comfortable than suffering in the heat and dying of heat exhaustion. Go put on 4 or 5 layers of heavy winter wool sweaters and hang out in the summer sun all day. You'd gladly take a moment of being rolled around on your bum to be rid of all that weight and heat. :)
