Good job done!.Know zero about shearing but you did a fantastic job! 👍👍. Is there any value to the wool?. Can you sell it? Why is it not used for home insulation?. Thanks again. Fantastic video. Hope the rest of the shearing goes well.
Another great video Thats what I'd call back breaking work Watching you shearing You'd never think it was only your second year your fast and the one you did with your father's sheers that looked really good The lambs they done well their looking awesome
As an X shearer, heck u shore very well. Easy shearing sheep, but still u have to get them in the correct position or u can’t shear like that. Well done. The only thing I’d say to improve again , is really concentrate on tipping your hand over further to make sure your BOTTOM tooth on your comb is right on the skin. Would eliminate second cuts.
With the feet , do you vaccinate against foot rot ? We do in Australia, saves a lot of time , can even get it made to protect against what ever strain you have on farm ..
Nice to see the days in perspective. About how many sheep can you sheer on a battery? You seem to be doing great with sheering being only you’re second year. (Nice shirt!) Hi dad!
Great Shearing video. You are getting pretty quick as you get more experienced. The sheep probably enjoy being Shorn as that wool is probably itchy. With having to move the sheep around and constantly bending over it has to be very hard on your back.
@@sheepshepherdyou not slow just muscles you never used before u will be fit when you have them finished and then not doing for another year is the hard part next time
In America i make wool rugs. I spent spin, dye, cut wool. We pay $14 for a thin layer, maybe 1/8 or 1/16 of a yard of flat milled wool, 10x12 inches. This is a older art that is reborn like home-canning of all meats and food. Yes, there are so sheep here in America, or Canada, but why is it controlled like the diamond market? I make beautiful wool products and home can tasty foods, that over the world many people used to make at home? B
@@sheepshepherd shite was built to last back in’t day! I bet your battery powered ones won’t last you two seasons of sheering 🐑 Great vid matey. Watching from Nottinghamshire England 🫶🏻
as sheep numbers down in Australia and new Zealand - should use all those woolsheds and shearers quarters for accommodations. Farmers can rent them out too Paying Indians . - who know how too cook Vegetarian samosas
I am curious you’ve mentioned that you participated in a government program to plant a portion of your land to trees. You were given a grant for this. Now, however, a population of deer live in the woods you created but come out of the woods to feast on your sheep’s grass. In hindsight would you have participated in the program? Are you allowed to harvest any of the deer for meat? Regarding sore back due to shearing, have you seen the harness set up that some use? Harness is attached via rope to overhead beam and therefore supports back while leaning over shearing. It is interesting how you mark your sheep so you know they are yours. I remembering growing up on a Missouri farm we marked our calves by cutting the tip of their right ear. Surrounding farmers marked their cattle by different markings.
His deer are a pest that have got out of control breeds like fuck and not enough hunters to control them in the last 20 years between September and February they can be hunted just not enough hunters
Ya everyone here has their own markings. A harness is a good idea alright, might look into that for next year. Tbh I probably wouldn't have planted, it was my father's decision, but it is what it is. No you cannot shoot them unless you have a license and there is only certain butchers that can butcher a deer
Your shearing is more than good.its just a pity we dont get more for the fleece..but as long as your doing your own clipping its one less bill and the money earned will help to pay a bill..but the most important thing is to stopthem going over on there back and keeping the maggots in check.Lambs look great and we are all hard judges on our own stock and to be honest we never get a true picture of how good they are till the ewes are clipped.keep upthe content and your da' is great craic.

@@sheepshepherd sorry I should have spelt Merino not Marino, anyway I think they are a Spanish sheep going back several centuries. The average price for a pressed bale of Merino wool at 18.85 microns was 1912 dollars Australian last year. The highest price paid for a bale of Merino wool was over one million Australian dollars back in 1995. The top price paid for a stud ram was 450.000 dollars back in 1989. The tougher the Merino sheep has it the finer the micron reading her wool will be. Invercargill in the south end of the south island of New Zealand is considered brilliant Merino country,as is the high country in Victoria Australia. The last time I fed sheep in Ireland was sixty years ago and they were Galway ewe's. I have a mate who ran about 1500 merino's out near Kargoorlie WA, man they were big ignorant brutes of sheep. Anyway regards to yourself and your father. Kind regards Eamonn Leonard.
@eamonnleonard9162 you get around. Ya Galway ewes are native to Ireland, Thanks for that info, it's great to learn new stuff everyday on this. I lived in Sydney for 5 year's. I love Australia
@@sheepshepherd did you find the winter's in Ireland very cold after five years in Sydney? Your father must have missed you something awful when you were away, you have a great bond. Did your Dad visit Australia?, I can picture him on a cattle muster up in the northern territory, he'd be a mighty jackeroo. I enjoy your videos, but tell your father to be careful on that quad!! Oh the Galway ewe's were on my fathers farm in Westmeath I remember feeding them during the big freeze of 1963. Ask your father if it snowed in Kerry that year.
@@eamonnleonard9162ya he checked his diary, it snowed for weeks here that year, No he never came. He would never leave the farm. I didn't mind the cold, Sydney was too hot for me in the summer. I prefer the cooler temperatures😂
Your shearing is good. I will be 60 next year and am still shearing our own and go doing other peoples sheep although its getting harder every year. Keep up the good work its great content
