- Blade Shearing or Hand Shearing Sheep
SHEARING DAY with Kevin Ford “America’s foremost ‘blade’ sheepshearer.”
Harvesting wool with Kevin Ford professional sheep shearer and Rising Meadow Farm a sheep farm in Liberty North Carolina.
Ford literally wrote the book “Shearing Day: Sheep Handling Wood Science and Shearing with Blades, ” on blade shearing. Blade sheep shearing is sheep shearing by hand without mechanical devices. While blade shearing is traditional in countries like Ireland, it is largely a lost art around the world.
Shearing sheep isn't inhumane, it is in fact good husbandry. Sheep need us to shear them as we have bread them to produce large amounts of wool and not shed.

Kevin is a great ambassador for blade shearing. I always enjoy catching up with him at the world shearing championships.
Love to watch - Amazing People - doing what most have forgotten - looking forward to more videos like this - 🧙🏻♂️
Great documentary!😎🤙
What an amazing man and video!
good interview, nice to see the sheep being so calm.
@what's normal well, I meant it as a compliment to the skill of the shearer, because the ability to keep the sheep calm during the process makes it safer for both parties. But it might be that these sheep are just more easy-going than others that I have seen in the past.
@what's normal no worries, no offence at all :-)
you shearly can...
I learned something today. Very interestingly taught. Thanks
Im from northern Maine and 62 yrs old. I grew up on a farm with 100 to 300 head of sheep, plus lots of other kinds of livestock. I grew up shearing with the hand shears. 😇😇
Same here.
This is amazing!!! I have Shetland sheep & some Jacob sheep. Loved watching this gentleman shear!!
Thank you.
唔簡單工作， 專業中的專業👍
Thank you for your time and effort. I smile when I get a notification that you have new content.
Another excellent addition to your channel. Keep this type of content coming, keep doing what you're doing.
Very interesting. I am not familiar with sheep so this video took me into a different world.
Loved this!
More power to you Mr. Ford( no electricity) dont let these skills get lost to history or to put it another way forgotten.
I like how no matter what kind of shears are used sheep always look kind of wonky right after their shorn
I grew up on farm, we had sheep that were sheared in this way. What an awesome memory!! Sheep's milk yogurt! So yummy!
I got to experience him in person! He’s pretty epic in real life!
Great video!
Very interesting and nice shearing - ambidextrous too! Do you shear a whole sheep with the same hand or change in the middle?
You shave the lamb in the old Tunisian way 🇹🇳🇹🇳❤️❤️
Can anyone tell me what the smaller blade is that he mentioned he used for smaller sheep and Angora goats? I would love to get some for my Shetland sheep and Angora goats.
👍👍👍🤝👏
The pattern was designed by Godfrey Bowen in NZ not sure why you called it the Australian method , just sayin
Great video! Love these... But the pig butchering one was better. It was more real, raw and personable.
This vid was a bit too overproduced and I didn't get any questions answered. Not enough details and information on the beginning to end process.
Still a blessing to see though. Thanks!
I bet it feels great to be rid of that mass of hair.
