    As a faithful traditional Catholic I cannot approve your life choices. Yet coming across you channel by sheer fate, I find both of you ladies to be very cheerful, hard working, passing on a wealth of information, making these animals ready to be enjoying summer without that heavy wool and give deserved exposure to a trade not well known and showing that 2 ladies can handle the job as well as the men can.
    Thank you.

      Don't even know why I got this video specifically on my recommendations, I'm guessing it was more of the channel it's self since I'm learning related stuff to the channel but since I don't watch "shorts", the only video (or one of them) RUclips could recommend was this one.

    I'm really happy to see such care, control and passion you have for caring for these animals. I'm very against unethical farming practices but when people mistakenly avoid woolen products or say shearing is unethical I just roll my eyes because it's so senseless. Doing whatever is best for the animals is always the right thing 😊

      That was what I was worried about when I got into spinning. It doesn’t help that PETA’s “information” is one of the first pages to pop up. But I looked further, watched some shearing videos, and went to a sheep shearing festival, and concluded that harvesting wool is a couple minutes of indignity for the sheep. I can live with that.

      Hey! I buy mine from McWilliams Shearing Supply, but Longhorn, Heiniger and Lister will have them too. ☺️

    Sheep shearing competitions are so fun! Kills my back just watching it, I could never do it myself. You guys are troopers!
