@@leighanncronin6905 I've seen some really negative comments about shearing. Someone once said to me "Have you ever seen anyone shear a sheep? The shearers HATE the sheep and are very abusive to them." Of course you can't argue with someone who is blind to truth. Nobody would continue to hire any shearer who didn't treat the animals right. And yeah, I have seen a BAD example of shearing. A demo of shearing that left the animal quite bloody, but it had 2 years of Merino growth on it.

That was a large sheep! I found the video so relaxing, your rhythmic strokes with the clippers and the steady sound of them emphasized how you make what could be a stressful situation for the sheep as relaxing and calm as possible. Even when the sheep wiggles a bit you just seem to soothe it somehow as you adjust the positioning. You are a fine example of calm and kind efficiency without sacrificing the beautiful smooth shear or the time it takes. ❤ 🐑

Sometimes I watch you and they literally just lay there almost like they actually like it, but then again are they just used to it and know it’s going to happen whether they fight it or not??

It really depends on the animal and the shearer. I'm no shearer myself (I've tried and failed many times), but I was raised around sheep and get a front row seat in person as Shearer's assistant often. In my opinion the only things the sheep don't like about the process are being in a weird position and the strange sound of the shears. Katie talks about shifting them to make them more comfortable when they fuss in some of her other videos, and usually they only start to fuss if they feel like they're going to fall. A calm and confident shearer like Katie can keep them fairly relaxed through the whole process so that it's a neutral to good experience for the animal. Often it seems like their only gripe with haircut day is 'why doesn't anyone recognize me?!'

I'm new to the whole sheep shearing thing, we don't even have sheep here in my country unless they are bought from overseas. Quick question for anyone... Are sheep usually this calm and easy going?
From what I've seen in the shearing sheds, it depends a lot on the handler. With some shearers the sheep lie down almost voluntarily, with others they kick up a fuss every time! Exceptions to the rule of course.
I’ll bet you’re exhausted after a day of shearing !!!!!
👍
Its better when you talk to us
So I’m sure you won’t read this BUT hopefully someone who actually knows and not just assuming can tell me, do these animals LIKE getting shorn, are the just indifferent to it or do they NOT like it? Or does it just depend on the animal? Sometimes I watch you and they literally just lay there almost like they actually like it, but then again are they just used to it and know it’s going to happen whether they fight it or not?? Lol just wondering, maybe do a video explaining it cuz I know absolutely nothing about it until I started watching your vids a few weeks ago
It really depends on the animal and the shearer. I'm no shearer myself (I've tried and failed many times), but I was raised around sheep and get a front row seat in person as Shearer's assistant often. In my opinion the only things the sheep don't like about the process are being in a weird position and the strange sound of the shears. Katie talks about shifting them to make them more comfortable when they fuss in some of her other videos, and usually they only start to fuss if they feel like they're going to fall. A calm and confident shearer like Katie can keep them fairly relaxed through the whole process so that it's a neutral to good experience for the animal. Often it seems like their only gripe with haircut day is 'why doesn't anyone recognize me?!'

Can you please explain your shoe covers?
This may be a silly question, but what do you do with the wool once its shorned?
It belongs to the owner. Most throw it away. Some use it for their own craft and very few of my clients can sell it to support their farm.
@@rightchoiceshearing oh ok. I was thinking that it could be lined for a sherpa jacket or a blanket lol
Breed? Inquiring hand-spinning-minds want to know. ;-)
I wish I knew! they are some of the most stunning, easy shearing sheep I’ve come upon. The owner doesn’t know though! I was told hair cross the first year but they are too pretty for that. 0 hair
Why are you shaving next to a trailer? I’ve never seen you do that before.
That’s the only way they could keep them dry. They just moved and didn’t have a shelter yet.
Yet another site with no subtitles again 😢
You're overcomplicating it. All you need is a pair of shears and you just right click the sheep and it comes off no problem.
You need some sunscreen girlfriend!
Why Is she so aggressive
Not your Hallmark gentle shearing. Hope you’re okay.
