Thank you so much to Cammy from The Sheep Game for this incredible opportunity! The Valais was a total doll for me and a shockingly simple shear!

Seriously. If six months ago anyone would have said "Let's watch sheep being sheared!" I would have laughed. Yet here I am, totally fascinated! Thanks for bringing us along with you on your journey ❤
It's incredibly relaxing. 😊
Me too!
Right????
It’s even better in real life!!!! I feel so blessed and lucky to have witnessed it!!!❤
I totally agree ❤
Aww! She’s darling with her wool and when she’s a silly pink thing with black bobby socks. So well behaved for her haircut.
That's what I saw too. A naked pink thing in black socks. Bet she felt silly.
Unaccustomed tool, new place and a new breed of sheep to shear, but Katie handles it like the boss she always does. Such a beautiful animal, both pre and post shearing, especially the intricate horn texture. I hope you had Darian with you on the trip overseas, that you were able to experience more than "just barns" when you're there and that you had a pleasant visit to Scotland! Greetings from Norway! 🇳🇴
I love how she just lets Katie dig around, looking for her ears!😂 And then lets her little leg flop.
Oh I love Norway!❤ HI from the state of Tennessee in USA😊
@@celia6564 Hello, thank you for your kind words! I know of your home state, but I have to admit I had to search for it to confirm my information on it. When I still was in elementary school, a long time ago, whenever our PE teacher subbed for a sick teacher, he had us writing essays about Elvis Presley and his works or listening to his music, depending on the subject he was subbing for. Can't say I remember much about those essays, but PE and Elvis is weirdly intertwined for me still.
How wonderful to see the kind & gentle treatment of the animal. Thanks also for educating on different types of sheep
"She handles it like the boss she does." You DO realize that that sentence isn't even a sentence, do not you? It says nothing. I THINK you meant, "like the boss she Is" or "like A boss she does." Oh. Now foolish I feel. Norsk, thou art. Engelsk is your second tongue (or A second tongue). Tu Inglés is más mejor que mi Noruego. Discúlpame.
Now that I know how sheep are shorn, I'm like "who could have ever thought otherwise"! A sheep HAS to be calm and comfortable enough because otherwise you'd have to fight for taking their wool off, and nobody, nobody wants that fight. It's EASIER to make it ok with the animal, because it makes the process just, well, possible at all! And it's a pleasure to watch you shear a sheep. Your kind words make it even better. It almost feels like this content is good for health: seeing a calm content sheep being taken care of feels calming.
You handled that shear beautifully! You made the U.S. Proud, you did such a good job! Cheers!
This isn't her first "rodeo", is it; she's very relaxed through it. And her wool looks fluffy, like cotton candy. . . TWICE a year? Oh, my!
Valais don't have the finest of fleece; the fiber is what's often called 'carpet-grade' (medium-coarse), but they make a LOT of it. And their digestion is much more efficient than most breeds, so they can make all that muscle and fleece on less food than most other sheep. If they had finer wool in addition to quantity, docile temperament and meat, they'd be the perfect sheep for basically everything.
@@alexisgrunden1556 Well, we can't have that.....
Beautiful!❤❤❤
Wow!!! You're international now, you go!!! Even the sheep in Scotland trust you and your Beautiful soul. Look how comfortable. You are truly the best! Not one nip. Both of you are doing a fabulous job!!! ❤
You look comfortable with the electric cordless shears.And you were a dab hand getting the sheep into position.Marvelous as always Katie.
I love the black socks, knee patches, ears and sweet black face of that sheep. She was so patient up until the last when she was getting impatient to be done. She did a cute little wiggle 😅 then settled back down. I could almost hear her sigh.😊
She is so stinking cute with or without her wool! 😍 Great job as always! Hope you and Darian are having a blast in Scotland!
WHY can't I stop watching these videos? It's an ADDICTION.
Hey, I'm a fellow Texan who enjoyed a vacation in Scotland a year ago. I saw hundreds of sheep--had to pause driving for them now and then--so it was lovely to see you shear one of those cuties. Have a great trip!
Was really happy to see you stop, put the cutters down, and look for her ear!
I appreciate how careful you are shearing around their faces. Your channel is so fun and interesting! As a spinner, I would love the opportunity to spin a Valais fleece; it's gorgeous!
It's amazing how calm they are. They just let you lay them in weird positions
That is so awesome. She is a gorgeous sheep. Thank you for sharing your talents. You're amazing.
She was pretty well-behaved and her wool was just gorgeous. Glad you're having such a good time in Scotland!
I love watching you work! Your care for the sheep is clear in every stroke of the clippers.
The black noses of Valais (
It so heartwarming to see sheep with their tails. I love how much grace and respect you show each and every animal you shear Katie. Its also nice to see you over this side of the pond. 💐
With or without the W, Katie does an amazing job. That sheep cooperated beautifully.
W?
@@jamjar5716Glasgow is spelled with a W so I believe they were saying that the misspelling of Glasgow doesn't take away from the enjoyment and skill seen in the video
@@jamjar5716if you hear a Glaswegian speak Glasgow, it is more like ‘ Golaassgo’ anyway. I get it!
Hello from Scotland! Hope you enjoyed (or are enjoying) your time here! It's awesome to see you shear a Valais Blacknose. Thank you for posting such a video
So glad to see you are enjoying your time with Cammy and new sheep breeds. Hope you and Darian and having an amazing time while you are there.
What a awesome job .. she was loving it all that coming off bet she feels a lot better .. she is absolutely adorable love all her black 🖤 patches and her little bobby socks 🧦 LoL 🤣😆😆 💕🌻
You're such a hard worker Katie! I absolutely love the content ❤ Have fun making memories in Scotland! ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
RCS, and for a hot second Katie had discovered the new 'earless' sheep of Scotland! Wow, you guys will go far to shear!! Actually, have a blast there!! 👍💖💙🥰✌
They realize they are in the hands of a strong professional and simply relax for their shear. I hope you and your wife had a fantastic trip!!
wonderful to see you in Scotland, I am down on the coast in deepest, darkest Dorset with alpaca and llama, love watching you work you are so considerate
Beautiful breed and you did great with the electric clipper. Amazing growth for only 6 months!
Welcome to the UK! I’m down in London. Love to watch u shearing. I’m a hairdresser and I love to watch an artist at work. Great job. U have a calming tone with the animals xx
Love your gentle touch when you work with them...always nice to watch your videos...
This was like watching a ballet. You are so very gentle and kind. Bravo so well done.
Oh wow two of my favourite streamers. And I became aware of you both via Dalscone Farm Fun in Dalscone Scotland after Pumkin the donkey was born. And one of my favourite sheep, Valley Black Nose...Stunners ❤ Thank you for working together ❤️ xXx
What a gorgeous creature and that wonderful thick fleece.
Such a sweet and gentle girl and the sheep was pretty good too. I've watched your shorts for several years now and never leave less than amazed.
You are truly a master at your craft Thank you for keeping an old world skill alive!
You’ve made my day with this video! Gorgeous animal and always handled with so much care.
Yay 🎉 you're in UK X welcome ❤ Great shear on a new breed to you. Big head, horns, hiding ears and long tail, quite a challenge also with the new shears! They are such a cute breed, but you put her at her ease and did fantastically ❤ going round that big fat belly was a dream ❤ 😅
Well done you! You’re the best! I was in the Netherlands on a sheep farm and watched a shearing. Boy did they nick their nipples! I found it horrible! They said they didn’t really feel it - I don’t think so! Thank you for the compassion you show the animals. ♥️
This is my favorite breed. They're just so beautiful and adorable.
I am amazed at what a difference it makes, when shearing different breeds.
Love your breed information almost as much as I love the shearing
Saw a small herd of these sweeties at the base of the tram for the Matterhorn in Zermatt, Switzerland. I fell in love with their little panda bodies and twistie horns.
Great Job Katie !! Bet you and Cammy had a few laughs during your visit. I have been a viewer of both your guy’s channels for some time. ❤from 🇨🇦
You are one of the only few who are gentle with the sheep and if I had shoot, I would be the first one to try to call you and hire you. It makes me happy to see the sheep treated well.❤
What a beautiful fleece and an adorable sheep.
Beautifully shorn. What a lovely calm and caring attitude. By the way, the breed of sheep referred to as a BFL is a Blue-faced Leicester. Leicester, pronounced “Lester”, is a city in England’s East Midlands region.
These are the most adorable sheep and it surprised me that they have horns! And even the horns are pretty. You did a great job. That kind of growth in 6 months is crazy! One kilo is 2.2 pounds.
She was such a good girl for you ! A beautiful job as always this has to make them feel good ! Gorgeous wool and this breed of sheep just precious ! Let me say if I owned sheep I would call on you anytime! No nicks from shearing either perfection 💜💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕💜💕
I love how the sheep just lays there. That! Is just 6 months of grow🤯 Beautiful! 🤩
What a beautiful sheep! She’s absolutely gorgeous and as a person who lives in a cold damp climate; I sincerely appreciate everything from the sheep, the sheering , the spinning and the weaving and or knitting that goes into making me clothing that keeps me warm and comfortable. ❤🇨🇦 We truly have a VERY symbiotic bond and relationship with our farm animals, our farmers, our craftsmen and the young people need to understand and APPRECIATE the symbiotic bond that we all share with each other. Addendum: FYI….A kilogram equals about 2.25 lbs imperial. Excellently done by the way; she was very happy and relaxed while being shorn; you’re definitely skilled in your craft..and your compassion for your charges is obvious and it’s clear that they feel it too.
I really enjoy watching you shear! You're gentle and caring with these animals. I like that. Also, you a bad ass girl doing a bad ass job!!
Fun fact: they’re pretty common here in Maryland, and those second black blobs on their knees and hocks are a breed standard, along with the black face, feet, and ears, and the curled horns. They’re also incredibly friendly
The 1st time I watch your videos, it reminded me of an old classmate. He did this and was really good at it. He won competitions and was requested by many.. thanks for bringing this memory back to me. 😊
Oh you are in our bonnie country. I hope you are able to see more than sheep and shears.. Love watching you shear, very calming. Hope you managed some llamas too. Thank you for letting us see this gorgeous girl being sheared. Enjoy Scotland
I was in awe the entire video. Such beautiful fleece, gorgeous pink skin, calm and peaceful sheep, gentle caring attention to detail and you are so respectful to her needs and safety, it all choked me up. It was a beautiful thing!! Thank you for sharing your journey and your love for these animals.
The valais blacknose is my favorite sheep. They're just darling and so docile. Who couldn't love their black faces and that black feet&knee combo? So, so, so cuteeeee!!!
I don’t understand why I like watching these so much. I all of a sudden have an interest in wool
I really like seeing the sheep walk off all happy after being sheared. 😊
Sooo happy for you girls to witness your expertise and talents blossomed beyond the U.S. 🎉🎉 I am a proud French Canadian Girl and am happy to salute your workgirlship. ❤🎉
Great job! Enjoy your visit!❤😇❤️
thats cool you were able to go to Scotland 🎉 also you knew there was an ear in there somewhere ❤😮
That sheep is so docile and relaxed! I love that breed, so adorable!
What Fun! I love watching Katie shear!
Exquisite shearing !! I am 74 and even now, jealous. Good show!
Beautiful job! I used to shear Australian method in high school and you sure make that look effortless, and it’s not. What a nice temperament that ewe has. Pleasure to watch you work. No nicks! 😊
I used to work on a sheep farm in exchange for rent. They used the old spring action scissor shears. The farmers left so many nicks on those poor sheep. That’s why I love your show. Every time you don’t bloody a sheep, I feel I’ve watched the home team win.
Adorable sheep! Where's her ear? 😂 Love that you educate us, care about your craft and the animals that you handle. Safe Travels
I always save your videos for right before bedtime. You are so calm and talented. Can see your happiness and your care for the animals.
I have been watching you for awhile now. I saw your shorts. And subscribed. I love watching you and your partner. ❤😊
I absolutely love watching you do this. It's just really beautiful to me. It's like a dance and the trust and respect you and the sheep exchange is simply beautiful to me
You are a joy to watch. I watch to relax my mind. You are always educational and fun to watch.
Katie you’re so strong, gentle, and talented! Thanks for respecting the animals you handle. Yesterday i ran across a shearer who left massive bleeding gashes all over the poor sheep 😢
Lovely sheep, lovely fleece, lovely woman!❤
Beautiful little sheep. Beautiful fleece. As always you did a fantastic job Katy
I love you got to hang with Cammy, he is such a great guy, the both of you are an inspiration to all with your love of what you do and how positive you are. Enjoy your time in the UK, peace and love from MS.
I have been a fan on multiple platforms and what always brings me such joy is the true love care and concern you show for the animals 🫶🫶🫶
Wait WHAT? I just saw my first Valais Blacknose - literally while on holidays in Scotland! Now this is spooky…. But they’re the cutest! 🥰
That was AWESOME 🎉 What a treat !!! Thank You for sharing; beautiful video ❤
These sheep really are gorgeous & good natured. And that wool! Super job!!!
I never tire watching you Shear…if I was a sheep I’d be very happy to get you! 😁🐏💕🙋♀️
The fleece is beautiful.
Amazing. At one point seemed easy to handle, almost puppeted, per se, but at another point, not so much. Amazing wool!
This was a phenomenal shear Katie! Lucky sheep just had the best shearer out there! It's awesome your in Scotland! Have a good time. I bet you blow them away with your skills 😊
I can’t believe I find a sheep Shearing vid so fascinating!!
Beautiful sheep with beautiful wool! I am so glad you are there for this experience!
The sad part of your videos, you made it look so easy like I could jump in there and just do it. Know that's just a mirage in my mind at 70d years old.😂 love you and Dorian. ❤
They look so cute❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I started watching you awhile back and love your channel. Then the Sheep Game came up and I started watching Cammi and Lizzy. I was thrilled to no end when I saw you two on their channel in Scotland!! ❤️❤️❤️ Coming to you from Claremore, OK!
Oh wow 🎉 this is just the best video from you ❤❤❤❤ how wonderful it is and how awesome you must feel to be able to do this! HOORAH you guys! ❤
That was an amazing sheer, Katie. You are such a pro. And it’s very weird but lovely to see you together with our Cammy in one frame!
What a joy to watch! Beautiful fleece and you do such a fast clean job. They are such a cute breed.
Look at how calm the sheep is!!! Well done, dude! 🎉❤
Wow ! Only 6 months worth of wool and so thick ! Good job ! Another fab end of shearing the sheep ! 😊
Love the way she just leaned into you with full trust. You did a bang up job and she is gorgeous.
WOW!! I FINALLY GOT TO GO TO SCOTLAND⁉️😏😎 THANKS FOR TAKING US WITH YOU!!! THIS IS ONLY MY FOURTH SHESRING VIDEOS AND I HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN TO TRAVEL. KATIE, YOU MAKE THAT LOOK SO DARN EASY, IT'S REALLY THERAPEUTIC🇺🇲🙏 ❤🤟💋♊🙏✝️🇺🇲🌍
I think the babies are one of the cutest baby animals in existence. Hope you had/have fun there. I want to go next year.
This one is such a sweetie. And that fleece!! Gorgeous. 🧡
I'm so glad you hooked up with Cammy. I love his videos too!! Those sheep are huge and their hair is so long. Glad you admit you don't know what kilos are. Me either 🤣 Another great video. Thanks!!
It's lovely to see a shearer that doesn't butcher the sheep. My local fail does sheep shearing and those poor sheep afterwards need care, so many nicks. I appreciate how much care you take, even when they are wiggly, or new to you as you find that ear (giggle). The Valais Blacknose is the cutest sheep. So fluffy. Even cute when not fluffy
