Spring Sheep Shearing 

Thanks Joe, it’s time we get those sheep bred so we can have lambs again. Without the pregnancy, our shearer says they are absolutely overweight. We keep them with the yearling calves and they eat well.

Those clippers are brutal, I wouldn’t let that thing near my head. That’s what impressed me the most about this guy, not one scratch on the sheep.

After they get sheared they head butt each other because they are re-establishing the pecking order. I think they don’t recognize each other.🤔

@@zawadafarms7402 are they male dominant? or just baddest attitude?

Yes he’s a yooper. I think the more experienced guys position the sheep just so, and follow a routine that makes the process quicker. Our overweight sheep didn’t help much either for handling. You could see him pulling fat rolls to keep the hide tight so he didn’t cut them. Absolute pro job, all three looked great at the end and didn’t have one knick or scratch.
