Barbers when the quarantine is over 😂

I like how the sheep goes from "whoa wtf dude?" to "well I guess this is my life now"

free haircut they said, it'll be alright they said

I can't believe this is a thing

I’ve officially gone too deep into the KZfaq rabbit hole. I was radicalized into sheep shearing 😱😱😱

It's 10:30 on a Wednesday night and I'm watching videos of sheep being sheered in a competition

how the fuck did I end up here!? loool

Humans will make a sport of anything.

" I need to go to sleep, Oh whats this ? World Machine Shearing Finals..... " Dame you youtube!

I can’t believe I watched the whole thing...😂😂😂👍

My husband works 12 hours a night at the NICU saving babies from legit death so I can sit here drinking wine and watching sheep shearing competitions.

the commentators are really trying hard to make it sound interesting.

We shear sheep as part of our business, and I can tell you for a FACT, sometimes the sheep get nicked. It is unavoidable. When we first started shearing, I felt AWFUL anytime I nicked one. But they heal up fine in a week or two, with a little bit of antiseptic spray. The shearing machine has two blades, the "comb" and the "cutter". A really, really good sheep shearer can get about 10-15 one year fleeces out of a cutter. Someone who is shearing quickly, or who is less experienced will dull the cutter much faster, and maybe get 5 sheep out of a blade. When the cutter starts to go dull, it will snag skin and nick them. The combs that are used on the machines have anywhere from 9 to 20 "teeth". The more teeth they have, the less they bite into the wool at once. It looks like these guys are all using 9 tooth combs, which means they are using the combs with the biggest gaps and will cut a sheep faster than any other comb, because the wider gap between the teeth of the comb means that more skin can be snatched up into the cutter. However, with the speed that they need in this competition, it would be dumb for them to use one of the combs with more teeth. I am flat out amazed at how little they actually cut the sheep, at those speeds, with those combs. That takes real talent and skill. I attempted to use a 9 tooth comb on one of our personal sheep once, just to see how it worked, and I cut the poor girl 3 times before I ever got done with the belly. I said NOPE, recognized that I was not skilled enough to use the 9 tooth comb, and it hasnt been used since. I could probably use it now, because this was several years ago, but i do just fine using a 13 tooth comb. I dont have to shear a sheep in 45 seconds. Hopefully that explains to everyone what is actually going on here, while people are screaming about how cruel it is and how "bad" they are cutting them.

Am I the only one who thinks sheep shearing is quite interesting?? 🤔 Maybe I'm weird 😂😅😅😂😂

Lol sheep are so cooperative

All sheep were confused what was happening to 1 minute of their lives.

This is an accurate depiction of my neighborhood barber shop

2020 is a strange year, learned a lot and seen so many weird and exciting videos. This one is among my favorites along with horse shoeing.

"He is Pinking them out really fast" . LOLLLL

I'm just some guy working on IT and life sciences. Landed here randomly. And I'm flipping baffled. Impressive !

As a guy born and raised in Brooklyn NY, I LOVED THIS!

The shear speed of these people

I didn't even know that this was a sport. Awesome!!! New fan!!

To all you city folk, you should go watch these guys on the job for real in NZ. They sweat all day and the back aches for the first 2 days, but they keep on going regardless. These guys are the bomb. A good shearer is well worth watching.

Me at 11pm: One more video and I'll go to sleep Me at 3am:

"Ayee my barber is kinda rough here, how bout yours there mate ?"

Its 1:54 am and I'm watching sheep shearing!

I find this really funny.. The way they r man handling the sheep in the beginning.. The way the sheep just submit .. The announcers talking like its a horse race.. Wtf am i even watching hahahaha I am actually laughing out loud while watching this shit

Those saying poor sheep and thats so cruel, think logically. The sheep is laying against their leg its judt their feet that are moved infront or behind the sheerer to maneuver better. Also it takes like 1min to sheer a sheep and its only done twice a year. Cuts and nicks happen but a good sheerer wont cut the sheep at all thats why they have contests to prove they are a good sheerer and take care of the sheep so more farmers will hire them.

Sheep: just a the ol shaving Gets grabbed out of the gate Sheep: holy shit that was fast

This competition deserves an Olympic event.. 😂

this is what all is about! very meaningful. I am from Mongolia btw.

I often wonder how the living hell I ended up here. This is one of those videos that make me wonder

These sheep are chill and relaxed. Makes me want to get a Swedish massage.

Ah, the internet. It truly is glorious.

What an unexpectedly interesting event, watched the whole thing with ease!

This is how desperate I am for sports. I laughed, I cried, I held my sweater.

I don't know how I got here 🤣

Sheep’s be like why you rushin bruh Just take your time

New Zealand and Ireland are definitely gentlest with their sheep. Seeing as shearing can be just as much an ordeal for sheep, I’m glad there are minimal to no nicks to sheep skin. #GreatJobGuys. 🌟

This is God's favourite sport. I bet He loves watching this with nice cold beer....... Or red wine:)

This is still so much better than the wnba so thanks for the person who linked me this

Those are being very good girls

Just peelin' the boys out there.

This is back pain all over after they done

I feel like a lot of people commenting have no idea how difficult sheep shearing is. Probably the hardest manual labour job across Aus and NZ

Planet Earth is weird

me: getting ready to skip ahead and hears "from scotland..." also me: ok hold on now

Can you imagine the farmer was like you want to shear my sheep for free and I dont have to touch a one... I'm in!

Wow, they're not only super-fast but really accurate too! They could easily cut the sheep badly if they didn't know exactly what they're doing, I would think?

“He’s done well for his country Ivan Scott they must be so proud of him back in the Uk” Ireland is Not in the Uk

I was watching runescape pking vids and now I am here 2:15 am

People are taking this so sheariously..

Love this!

This is how barber does when queue is long enough 😂

9:23 this part is so satisfying idkk

if i was one of those sheeps i would go on yelp right now and give them a 1 star for customer service

*"Give me a fucking minute"* -Sheep

watching at 4am in the morning for no reason.

I feel like I've finally reached the End of KZfaq.

Friend:“What are you doing” Me: “watching a sheep shearing competition” Friend: 😳 ok “

This is crazy impressive most people don’t know but it takes normal around 15 minutes to shear a sheep and to fight them to get their legs in the right place crazy

Strangely satisfying when done professionally.

The sheep will be like: take it easy man you're screwing it all up and at the end it will be like: wut da fuck?! that's not the hair cut i asked for!!!

This is one of the reasons why aliens won't show themselves to us because they know we gonna fuck them up.

Just found out that sheep shearing is a sport apparently and there’s tons of fans! There’s more people there than there is at Triple A sport games

2021 and I'm just knowing that this is a real thing

Wow there's a competition for just about everything huh?

I love watching shearing ,oddly satisfy

This is funny 😂😂like how do they practice 😂do they get up at 6am just to shear a sheep ?😂they even got entrance music lol ong this is just so funny to me 😂😂

This is the best thing I could have found at 2.41 in the morning.

People comment about animal cruelty as if these sheep were skinned alive

this is so satisfying lol

Anyone is seeing in 2020 👍

This is real sport: competition in real work. Let’s also not ignore the ladies who were collecting the wool - they were hustling as well.

The folly of modern society: "OMG the sheep have cuts on their hide!" Meanwhile, in Syria....

would love to see this competition on human heads and facial hair lololololol itd be the most hilarious thing in human history

“One point deducted from the red corner, eye gouging...” “Ok lets have a clean fight!”

Hello! From Cambodia 🇰🇭 🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🥰

Who won?? WTF

Enough internet for today.

The first race on wheels was invented only 3 minutes after the invention of the wheel.

Very exciting!! Would like to have seen the award ceremony!!

Ok let me just say. Some of the people shearing did a very good job. It was clean. There was no sign of struggle from the sheep. Overall nice job, but some of these people. They shear terribly. You can see cuts on some of the sheep. They should not be cut at any part of the shearing process. One has cut on its face, and the sheep were struggling. Usually in transition from each position they don't seem to mind at all. Some of these sheep jerk and they're being moved. That's not how a normal sheep being sheared acts. You can also see the the sheep get stabbed with shears multiple times. Stabbing them shouldn't be a part of this process either. That's all I'm saying. I get that I can't stop this. I can respect some people in this competition, but some of them... wow

@ 20:06 He's half a sheep behind

I'm here after someone saying they would "rather watch bowling or professional sheep shearing than the WNBA" 😂😂😂

Ngl I watched 10 minutes engaged without even noticing I was watching a fucking sheep shearing competition

The blondie has the loveliest behind.

You guys are all sick. Why u crazy guys watching sheep sheering at night?? By the way... I posted the comment on Thursday 10:52pm 🤪

This is how my mom made my haircut when I was a kid

wow from the philippines

Meanwhile, in Ireland.

This is pathetic. I can shear a sheep in one click

The sheep at 14:01 was like "What's going on?" Lol.

I like this ☺

Shave and a hair cut , two bits !!

All sheeps that end up bleeding shouldnt count

Wednesday night and I am watching this competition 😊 these commentators though😂

Hehe the sheep are like "‼️ hey bro why are you being so rough - oh this is actually alright. Oh hey this is quite nice, keep going"
