Blade Shearing Close-up on a Perendale Ewe

Blade shearing a perendale ewe with quite chewy wool. You can tell more on the last leg how the wool is quite yellow and hard cutting.
Please excuse the fingers over the lense a couple of times. My father's hands don't work particularly well for holding a phone to film.

The sheep trusts you so much ❤ that's such a reliable skill level to have sheared them so often without hurting them that they know you're that good

[@masterman7166]

You make it look easy.

I love the sound of the shearers, thank you.

[@madhushanmedagedara5403]

This so satisfying .

[@TheBachBabe]

Very cool. I love to watch the wool roll out and bloom with each cut. I'm so glad to know that you are keeping this vital skill alive. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion with us.

Thanks for the up-close demo Allan. I'll be putting into my archives for future reference. Cheers

I love watching you shear. I shear my own little flock here in Missouri, USA. I'd sincerely love to get some shears from you that are ready to go. Is that possible?

Send me a message through my Facebook page and I'll see what I can do.

It may all be down to your skill, but it seems pretty docile; looks like it feels good to get all that extra weight off; it looks a bit binding!

[@marcus3457]

Curous how much of getting the sheep into position is having the right angle and skill, and how much of it comes down to physical conditioning and strength?

[@allantheshearer]

Technique and skill are definitely more valuable than pure strength. Knowing how to handle the sheep and keep it comfortable make it much easier.

@@allantheshearer Much appreciated.
