I was going to say the exact same thing. I’ve watched shearing competitions, families shearing their own sheep and never at anytime like that. Also the large over grown wool sheep’s name is “Shrek” and now many years later a ewe (nick named “Fiona”) was found down a cliff in Scotland with approximately 3 yrs of wool was saved by Cammy Wilson and friends before Christmas 2023 and she’s now living at Dalscone Farm in Dumfries.
You've clearly put a lot of work into this but, the clickbait photo is awful and, IMO is actually stopping the video from getting the clicks and comments it deserves. Unless your intent is rage baiting.
We raised a small herd of sheep up until the 1970s. The last 10 years you couldn't find people to shear them. Dad did almost all the shearing, I was young and could do one without much damage to the ewe, lol. It was back breaking work. That support harness would have been great!
Ive been binge watching sheep shearing videos, mostly shorts. Terrible for the back being bent over trying to control the animal with one hand and shear with the other. 2min x 150 sheep means 5 hours bent over like that working. I've read they're thinking about doing something similar for strawberry pickers. A tractor will have one or maybe 2 booms and the workers will be suspended from it as they pick. It's an idea anyway
I googled the statement. It was not 13 sheep sent by Britain to Australia in 1797. It was 26 Merino sheep brought by Captain Henry Waterhouse from the Cape of Good Hope. Also, You could have clarified that this was the first batch among many that would arrive in Australia.
I recall an article in which a sheep "went astray" resulting in its not being shorn for a long time. When it was finally captured, about 75 lbs of wool was shorn. Before then, the animal could barely see because of the wool's hanging everywhere, almost covering its eyes.
That could have been 'Shrek', a wily old ram that couldn't be caught (rounded up for the annual shearing) for years in Central Otago, New Zealand a few years ago....But eventually they did catch and shear him and got a heap of wool from him, but I can't remember how much. But that could be googled.
Also all 75 lbs was matted. It’s painful to the sheep and absolute waste for any use of wool. Nowadays a lot of farmers have problems with sheers, not enough people with needed skills.
It provides a detailed and engaging explanation of the entire process, from shearing sheep to producing finished garments. The clear, step-by-step descriptions offer valuable insights into the transformation of raw wool into clothing. This piece effectively showcases the craftsmanship and technology involved, making it an informative and captivating read for anyone interested in textiles and fashion.
Thanks, Aust here. Back in the day, the sheep would be shorn, a roustabout (general hand) would take the fleece to the classing table, where the classer would discard the "dirty" bits. The fleece would then be placed in the bag in the wool press. When full, the fleece would be pressed into the bag, which would be closed off and a stencil with property name would be painted on the bail.
Are the sheep okay hanging in that position during shearing? Are they terrified of the sounds of electric shears on their bodies? Hope they are well taken care of and likewise the workers are safe with no injuries to workers or sheep. Thanks for posting this video. I do appreciate your work. Thank You !
Wool isn't soft, it's hard and itchy and is the most abundant which makes it affordable. Now cashmere is soft, but its very rare and limited which is why its so expensive.
To this day I still don't understand how each strand of wool on sheep, essentially body hair with limited length, is merged with other wool to make unlimited length.
Horrible screenshot photo, those are probably dead sheep in a slaughterhouse, NOTHING to do with wool sheering!! Even though the video itself is good, this is a disgusting clickbait. Bad tactic in the long run, because it makes you look dishonest and now I dont wanna look at your other videos. Many other viewers might feel the same.
You make such nice educational high quality content and only 750 views… I don’t understand it. This is good content, obviously lots of work went into it. Why doesnt it get the views…
@@Process-X There is clickbait in the thumbnail, showing sheep hanging from the ceiling by their legs. This would turn off many viewers. Can't you choose a more suitable thumbnail?
They are on holiday for 364 days of the year, then they get shorn and released to frolic in amongst the butterflies, birds and flowers of the green meadows. Then they repeat the process..... another 364 days of holiday etc etc. Temperature of the sheep.... it depends, normally the removal of the wool is a relief to the sheep who get shorn in spring/summer....... so they get a chance to cool down. IF the weather is crappy and cold, they still have a layer of wool, just not as much as what they had before. And it grows pretty fast.
3 to 4 Kg's (about 7 to 9 lbs)> Every sheep is different, and different breeds of sheep have different production tendencies. There are meat breeds and wool breeds, self shearing breeds(the wool just falls off all over the place, every season), breeds for damp conditions and sheep for dry conditions...... there is a lot of variation. The nature of 'sheep' is that they tend to have problems in wet areas. It leads to 'foot rot' which needs treatment. This has led to many farmers breeding sheep over generations, trying to improve the production genetics and health characteristics (foot rot resistance) Many of the commercial breeds of sheep today are hybrid breeds, also known as crossbreeds........@@wlento58
The Roman Empire clothed its legionaries and auxiliaries in wool tunics. There were fabricaes (factories) that the Roman government contracted to manufacture legionary tunics in mass. Historians mostly believe the most common color was natural, undyed wool. It was much cheaper and shortened the manufacturing process by leaving out the color dying steps. Still, the same historians think the Roman legionary army did attempt colored soldiers' tunics for one reason or another, especially as the Republic transitioned into a wealthier Empire which could afford colored wool tunics. These Classical World fabricaes must have followed a similar pattern of sub-contracting out various functions of the manufacturing process, such as purchasing the desired shorn wool in quantities but also likely purchasing prepared wool or even wool fabric that just needed to be sized and cut by teams of seamstresses. The seamstresses back then would have been men as likely as women.
Very close.. the computer based voice is too mechanical sounding. Partially because the narrative is one long run on sentence. This can be solved with one minor change. The voice repeats facts too much. Humans pause in their speech irregularly. Take any one (of your excellent videos), just edit out the repeated facts. Do not replace with anything! Just let there be a bit of silence once in while. Then, you will go from good to great..
Even with real human narrators, it often sounds that way these days. My wife watches a lot of makeup videos with these young female streamers, and they actually edit out all the natural pauses and breaths to pack in as much info as possible. I find it unnerving and annoying.
I saw a movie years ago called "The Sundowners" and I remember a shearing scene in which the man wore a chest harness hanging from the rafters. First I've seen of that chest harness since then
Plz don't buy clothing made of someone 😢..these sheeps have to suffer so much just for your wool clothing..its not their decision..sheeps also feel pain, they are under no obligation to give up their life for you..or suffer
I like this kind of symbiotic ranching. We give the sheep food, medicine and protection from predators and they give us their wool that needs to be sheared anyway. Does anyone know how wild sheep keep their coats in check in their natural environment?
Domestic sheep have been selectively bred ovet a long time to have coats that become overgrown instead of shedding naturally, it is essentially a mutation bred in to them like how pugs were selectively bred to have smashed faces, wild sheep do not have this issue
@@somerandomperson6511 Yes and many people are now reversing that and breeding sheep that shed their wool as the price of some wool types plummet below the cost of production. Sad to see such a great product which is natural and sustainable shunned by green hypocrites in favour of synthetics. As a sheep farmer wool creates a lot of the work on sheep, the returns aren't there to justify continuing growing it.
There have been times and places where "wool gathering" was done. And that led to the wonderful noun and activity of gently thinking or passing otherwise nearly idle time in peaceful and sometimes surprisingly productive thought. When sheep brushed against bushes, wads of wool might get entangled on the bush. One could send a child out to gather the wool, put it in a bag, and bring it home. The activity produced fertile gentle thought and aperçus in the human, child or adult, who was "wool gathering".
That's why shearing is done in late spring/early summer when the sheep would get TOO warm if they had their fleece still on! If you watch the video again, near the beginning he clearly says that the sheep automatically increase their food intake, increasing their physiology and making them warmer.
This is so fucked up! How does one know an ethical wool from this cruel practice?? This is so horrific to watch them suffer like that , I don't want to buy wool anymore
This is really disgusting because the sheep should be shared when they are standing on all four legs. I really don’t understand whether they’re hanging by their hind legs at a meat plant.
sheep shouldn't be shorn when standing on all four feet, unless you want to punish yourself. They are pulled back so they are sitting up with the front feet up, and the backside on the ground.... there is quite an amount of skill and practice needed to do this properly and get optimum amount of wool off.
Wrong, clothes are normally made of fine Merino wool which feels soft to the skin, courser wools are made into blankets carpets etc. If you wool vest is itchy you've no doubt bought a cheap one.
Farming sheep is one industry, making You tube videos is another. People who know how to farm sheep probably don't know much about you tubing .... either.

This was so informative. How much does a sheep scheerer make? it must be exhausting.
The thumbnail is BS, the sheep are not hung upside down. They are set on their butt and shorn with electric clippers. The hanging sheep is click bait…
