    It’s really nice to see you feeding him and giving him love afterwards. Sheering isn’t cruel, but I think positive reinforcement after a new and uncomfortable experience like that for an animal makes a huge difference and keeps trust. Love this video 👍

      It's not just that shearing isn't cruel. It's mandatory now. Sheep are domesticated animals, and have been sheared for thousands of years by humans. We've bred the sheep that grow the most wool and because of this sheep grow wool at an incredible rate. Sheep that aren't sheared regularly become overgrown with wool. They become hot, heavy, and eventually immobile if they aren't taken care of by a human. They rely on our care to survive.

      @@Vesdus Absolutey agree 👍 - In the long run while their wool builds up, it's definitely necessary to shear them to avoid these issues.

      Cats and sheep. An understanding that people have not fully come to ken. On our farm when working in the sheep yards there was always cats watching. One day there was a big tom that was a stranger, never seen again, but he stayed for hours. At shearing time farm cats would visit the shed, not for long as that would interrupted hunting.

    That was genuinely first time I've ever seen a sheep shearing and thought, nice job both are chilled out...usually I'm like "are you sure this is the only way you can shear a sheep? Do you really need to wrestle and dominate the sheep then cut its wool of like some mad butcher" surely its a symbiotic relationship the sheep gets its old wool off and can stay cool the person gets some wool to sell

    Hi Cammy, I’m originally from the West Riding of Yorkshire, and our local sheep breed was named after the local market town, pronounced Pennystone. (If you look it up, halfway between Huddersfield and Sheffield, you’ll see why RUclips might have a fit about leaving the town name uncensored.). I don’t know if there are any purebreds left, as the breed seems to have morphed into the Whitefaced Woodland. Anyhow, if you can find one, please have a go at shearing it. Thanks.

    Wow what a pro. It is soothing to see how gently yet fast you did yer job. When I see how they shear the Sheep down under it churns my guts. They have plenty to do, so they waste no time with being careful, instead needing extra time to sew stitches on the many nasty cuts they cause to those poor sheep, and as if that were not bad enough they beat them from A to B. They have zero compassion. It is only about time and money there and that sickens me. I respect you for how you perform your trade. Thankyou for that, and greetings from Germany.

    Romney is always a favorite for me. I have shorn a couple small flocks of CVM's this year. I doubt you have them in the UK. They were developed by crossing Romney with Rambouillet and adding a bit of Corriedale in the mix. Fine wool in colors excellent for hand spinning, year round breeding and good carcass quality. Fortunately they got the calm demeanor of the Romney for the most part but some ram lines can be aggressive.

    I used to have five Jacobs and used hand shears on them, which was easy enough at the time. My sister in law had a pet lamb, 3 years old which had never been sheared and she asked me if I'd do it; I said sure.
    When I went to her place the ewe was in a small yard, her fleece was very overgrown, and I went to climb in with her. At this point my SIL told me not to go there, or the sheep, "would get me."
    I remember asking her how I could shear her remotely trying not to laugh, and climbed over and did the deed; like Archie, she sat very well which was good as she was a big girl, and I think she was happy to be free of her burden.
    I also did a friend's Shetland sheep. I told him that they were plucked, rather than clipped, generally, but he was adamant. As with my SIL, he warned me to be careful of the ram, who I could easily pick up, he was so tiny.
    I do like sheep though am too crippled these days to keep any, it's nice to see how friendly you are with yours.
