He seemed like he really wanted to pop you a juicy one or two with those kicky hooves! My first time seeing so much of that in one of your videos. But I noticed no biting. Do they not bite? Or perhaps only when really threatened, not just feeling annoyed or a bit uncomfortable with sitting?
@@P7ab it's mostly about how you hold and move the sheep to keep them comfortable. Some breeds are more docile than others as well. Merinos tend to be pretty calm for blade shearing.
They leave a little more wool on the sheep to protect from storms. The scissors also cut the skin less than machine. Machine shears are mostly used for speed
The calm of silence, this is beautiful. The sheep ond shearer seem to work together, in trust. It's almost like a meditation to look at them. The sheep looks almost sleepy after, just like me after sharing a moment in time with someone doing our job in perfect balance together in calm respectful concentration. Thank you, this was very comforting to see.
I love watching you shear. I shear my own little flock here in Missouri, USA. I'd sincerely love to get some shears from you that are ready to go. Is that possible?
Very cool. I love to watch the wool roll out and bloom with each cut. I'm so glad to know that you are keeping this vital skill alive. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion with us.
He's so cute and pretty :> I loves sheep honestly they're a fixation of mine, I'd love to sheer sheep someday but sadly I already have bad enough back problems But they're so cute and silly
Curous how much of getting the sheep into position is having the right angle and skill, and how much of it comes down to physical conditioning and strength?
