Big Ram-Fat Tail-Long Locks-Chill Shear

This guy is a Karakul sheep. They grow hair type locks over dense wool and store massive amounts of fat in their tails. These sheep are derived from the deserts of Central Asia and can be powerhouses under all that fiber. At the start, his feet brace
perfectly against my maneuver. His neck is strong and designed to withstand force from a full sprint head on collision from a dude just his size. He’s stubborn, but certainly not hurt. You can see him use that strong neck on the last side as I fight him to make him more comfortable. Thankfully, this guy didn’t mind a fresh cut or he’d have launched me across the pasture and taken off with what fleece he wanted left on 🤘🏻

[@zedwolf1589]

You are a bad ass, I don't understand how you can do so much at the same time all by yourself. I can hardly cut my 6 year old grandsons hair but he does have the same energy level as a tropical storm. Mad respect for what you do.

[@exdus235]

👍👍👍

[@lanellehatcher561]

You can just imagine how wonderful they must feel when they are finally able to feel fresh air on their skin! Great job!

[@mc-bw7bn]

Right all the fleas and bugs jeez I gotta short hair dog he itches and scratches constantly

[@Bones-and-Coal]

That was really interesting! Normally the sheep look like they're cozy sacks of potatoes being flipped about, but this dude definitely showed that it's your skillful handling that gives that impression - not necessarily the beasts themselves. That boyo was definitely making you work for it, but man did he look great afterwards!

[@vickivanlife3672]

Katie, that's a big boy. 🐑 You never fail to amaze me with your skills and strength.❣️

[@torrisimoneaux872]

I admire you so much. Sheering is not an easy job but you have such talent that it looks easy. You handle each of these BIG BOYS AND GIRLS with expertise and compassion. I love how you can remove the stress for the animal and do an amazing job.❤️❤️❤️

Right gottem in the headlock between his knees but at that point it seemed like the animal just gave in and was just like okay please do whatever you want

Seeing you trying to take that ram down for his haircut reminded me of days long past trying to get my 2 year old son into the barber chair. You were much more successful than I was! Nice work!

[@shauntaewhittington4103]

No gym workouts needed for you. You showed him who was in charge, in a gentle, but firm way. I can only imagine the way he could have behaved if you hadn’t. It’s amazing and so are you!

[@bettyg100]

This is my Karakul ram, Rojo. Katy and Darian have been shearing for me for a few years now. Rojo missed the fall shearing that's why he's so shaggy :-) Karakuls are one of the most ancient breed of sheep, and as you can see a fat tail sheep (tails are never docked) Not sure if it will let me share or not, but this is Katy shearing Rojo's son, Monk. Monk is a monster ram, and drop dead gorgeous. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6XKhn2uj5mphsk

[@lijohnyoutube101]

That animal is beautiful! Thanks for sharing the breed name :)

[@the.apocaloptimist]

Yes thankyou for the information, I think he's absolutely gawjus!! Like a walking super luxe flokati! : D I like that he's a really old breed too

[@tashimoto]

Oh wow! He's gorgeous ❤

[@susangrande8142]

Thanks for allowing the video of his shearing here on the Web! 🙏 He’s a fine specimen, and it’s great to see a Karakul here! They are probably the breed of sheep that St. Paul used to make tents. Yes, St. Paul was a tent maker; that was his profession. 👍 The Old Testament Israelites’ tents were probably made of Karakul wool, too.

[@viking-maid]

I would love to have some of his fleece for processing. I think it would make a fantastic woven rug!

[@Bluewaterpinessantarosabeach]

Oh yes! That is one strong and determined Ram. Great shear and strength . Thank you for shearing this boy for us all! Gorgeous!

[@DutchIsraeli]

You make it look so easy!! I sheared my rescue sheep last week. It took me about an hour and I ruined my dog clippers! 😅 I had imagined it quite differently!!

My father thought sheep kept cleaner with tails. He hated to see them without. Wonderful video and shearer.

[@micheleparker3780]

The amount of strength needed to turn, flip, and hold that HUGE animal is enormous. Great job 👏 👍 👌

[@flamingomtn]

You needed that last two inches of arm length there at the end. WOW! That was quite a shearing. Great job!

[@rightchoiceshearing]

Right! That fat tail makes it a stretch!

[@flyingpigpreserve8562]

Wow I've never seen Wool like that. He was Beautiful and the Wool was Fabulous. He was a big boy too sheer also. Love Your Videos. Peace from WV

[@cathy_p637]

I could see how tough it was for you to maneuver him but I could also see how cautious you were to never hurt him. Glad it worked out so well.

[@HanaTheRussell]

yeah dude. it's wild how they're a little uncomfortable at first but as soon as katie has them on their bums, they're fine all of a sudden. reminds me of how my dog hates putting her harness on. but as soon as we are outside she forgets all about it and she's fine.

I’m addicted to your videos…it’s fascinating. My sister has a tiny farm with 2 sheep. She uses their wool for knitting. I have a lovely scarfs he made me. I am fascinated by how relaxed your clients are.. a real compliment to your skills.

[@94agoodyear]

I was thinking you must really work out a lot to be in such incredible shape to be able to wrangle such a massive animal. Then I thought you probably get more of a workout from shearing than hitting the gym and lifting weights!

[@muttleyZZZ]

Whenever I want to stop thinking for a few minutes and just zone out, I just put one of your videos on! Hypnotic watching

[@pkwork]

Big ol' boy...you look so tired!! Love that smile at the end!!

[@eviesoap2655]

Oh my goodness you are so strong! My back hurts just watching you. You do such amazing work. Bravo!

[@khawkgirl]

I saw a bunch of fat-tailed sheep while I was in Mongolia last year! The shepherds there are nomadic and let their sheep free range all over the place with absolutely no fences. It was really awesome getting to see that lifestyle!

[@rhondaclark4173]

He didn't know what you were doing at first, but he gave a cute little smile once he started to get some air on his skin. About halfway through, there was a sensible spot, but both of you got through. Well done!

[@ositagordita8550]

That ram must feel so much cooler now without all that hair and he looks awesome!

You are a Joy to watch you do so much for the animals you (de-fleece?) shave. Just like this big guy, they start to feel their "weight loss" & they become calm. At least I think it does. 🐏 Thank you!

You make a great point in your writing about this ram that he is a fierce warrior who can headbutt another creature into eternity...or at least out of his current chosen space.
