Shearing a huge Valais Blacknose Ram last Summer. Being such a big guy with so much wool, we have to take our time, but will my back last out holding up all his weight, it’s a tough one!

I became exhausted watching you shear that big boy. I almost fell off my chair when you said his weight! He is one beautiful ram and you are one incredible shearer! Oh my back and shoulders were feeling your pain. Beautiful shearing job Cammy. ❤❤

Great Job, Cammy. The owners should have taken the opportunity to trim that ram's hooves while you had him tipped.

Very hard work, Cammy!! But you can stand back after you're finished, and pat yourself on the back and say job well done!! Keep the videos coming. I love the shearing content!!

Here in the states I have sheared many rams over 300 pounds and several in the 400 pound range. A 400 pound fine wool ram with 2 ft wide horns will really make you sweat.

I'm from the U.S.A., and the State of Iowa. Our state fair has three competitions that go on every year at the start of the fair. Biggest bull, biggest boar, biggest ram. The biggest ram at the 2023 fair weighed 437 pounds, and the 2nd place ram was 427 pounds. Yes, these big boys do exist! I watch Sheepishly Me, and that's how I found you.

Holy moly Cammy! That was a huge ram. He was, thank goodness , a confident calm subject to tussle with. His wool was so beautiful, it looked so fluffy, which I imagine is harder to shear. You did it !! Look at his conditioning, solid as a wrinkly brick. I love this breed. Would love to see him with his horns intact, what a beauty. However, imagine working around the curves and the added weight! Good job!! I like your shearing channel, as I learn about all the varied breeds. Hugs to the family. 🇨🇦🥰

Well done with shearing Victor, Cammy! He is indeed a massive monster of a ram, but he was quite calm and patient too, a testament to your skill in handling him gently and confidently. It was obvious that Victor was a difficult sheer by his size along, much less all that wool, not a square centimeter of his body was bare, and that wool looks soft and sticky [lanolin and texture I mean] so the need for second cuts was obvious and unavoidable. Victor was a good boy tho, he could ahve tossed you around easily, but he just endured your presence, lol. Love these shearing videos, and I've come to love the Valais Blacknose thanks to your videos too, they are cute but also seem like calm, almost docile sheep to have. Thanks for sharing this adventure, Victor is so huge, he was like mowing a whole island with a push mower!

@stellaluna64219 күн бұрын
I wonder if the discrepancy is because very fine wool tends to clump together on the sheep, while coarser wool can resist and stay "fluffed" ? Not sure, but he was definitely very fluffy.

I’ve heard wool doesn’t get used for much anymore bc it doesn’t go for much of a price. Thanks Cammy…I so enjoy these vids….from Nashville, Tennessee 🙏🏻🫶🏻🐏xx

What beautiful white wool. I have never seen this breed of sheep before. We usually had Columbia or Suffex. When I was a kid, my sisters and I would be the wool stompers. The wool would make our feet so soft as we didn't wear shoes ..... that is until we ran into a bundle that had a lot of large stickers .... then the shoes were put back on ...

As a hand spinner I’m interested in all aspects of wool production and how it all comes to be in my hands. I was trying to see the crimp in his fleece but had trouble because my phone screen is small. I wish you would talk a little about the quality of each fleece and why it is what you see/feel. I love watching your technique and how well the animals respond to you. Keep the great videos coming
