Hair Sheep That Didn't Shed For 5 Years

Hair sheep are bred to shed. Improper breading results in animals who don't.

[@lynnblanchard]

Don’t know why but I can’t get enough of your videos! Educational, yes, but what I really love is your clear affection for and love of the animals you shear.

[@MBMCincy63]

I agree, I found these videos to be very calming and relaxing like she's shearing my anxiety away while watching.

[@donnakahriger25]

Same w me, a city girl that has limited knowledge on the subject but adores animals and appreciates the thoughtful care and beauty u bring to these lovely sentient beings😇🐑. Plus I appreciate all the explanations u shear w us (pun intended).

[@mjm-7418]

Great comments!

[@krosstime5510]

I feel the same! Love this girl!

[@km_6181]

This is the only shearer I watch. She’s amazing and gentle with her barber clients making sure she puts their needs first❤️ nothing worse than watching someone rough up an animal 😭💔 Keep up the fantastic work

[@thruErinseyes]

Ditto

[@donnakahriger25]

Amen to that, KM!

[@lovelightcontinuum]

Really liked the close up shots as you explained how holding the clippers avoided nicking her. Tremendous job! You are so considerate of the sheep. ❤

[@juniekalu9340]

Her narratives are always interesting and makes sense.

[@karmicrafts5498]

Is there a way to use these safety features on a dog who is matted and anxious…especially in her paws …I’m so afraid to nick her …she’s old and super sensitive

[@jandavis1523]

What I love about your videos is the absolute respect you have for your fleecy friends, and the mutual trust you have in each other. I think the critters feel glorious after getting a nick-free shear - a win-win all around!!! ❤❤❤🌈

[@DougPalumbo]

Completely out of my life sphere but I find your videos throughly interesting and educational! Cheers!

Agreed! I've never petted or interacted with a sheep or a llama. And this is more interesting than watching horse shoeing...

She must have been so glad to get shorn. Thank you for taking such ggo care of her !

[@zara6673]

I have no clue why I feel this way but dammit, watching how easily you make these animals feel a thousand times better is just super sexy to me. Keep being awesome!

[@donnakahriger25]

OMGoodness, me too Zara. Plus I also enjoy the educational narrative❤🐑😇

You did an amazing job on her, so careful and gentle with her skin especially. Thank you on her behalf! 👍👍

[@thruErinseyes]

Man you’re so smart and super good at this. Both of you! I know only what I’ve learned from your videos. And I enjoy them so much! ❤❤

[@rightchoiceshearing]

Thank you so much.🤘🏻💕

[@jonathananonymouse7685]

I'd like to make a small request: if you could put a side-by-side before and after picture at the end of the videos, so we can see the comparison directly, I know that would bring me *great* joy. I'm sure there are other people around here who'd like it as well. Just a thought! Either way, keep up the good work!

[@rightchoiceshearing]

Ill work on that. The next month are videos I made back in '21. Ill get something going after that.

[@Bluewaterpinessantarosabeach]

Thank you Katie. This channel is vitally important as education in animal husbandry is sorely needed. Nice work.

[@VonnieKH]

I really look forward to your videos. Watching you shear them is mesmerizing and it’s a delight to see how careful you are to make sure that the animal is as comfortable as possible (and your explanations during it along with seeing it are so helpful. :)

[@senseimontenegro9703]

Much love from Texas! Thanks for sharing, Love your content!!!❤

[@PrettierAfter50]

Thank you for being so compassionate with all the animals. I've seen some videos of shearing that is painful to watch!

[@donnakahriger25]

I haven't seen any other shearing videos, but anything slightly untoward to animals, vamoose! It's the Right Choice for me😁👍❤🐑😇

[@annstafford4789]

I love watching these. You're very thoughtful as well as skilled

[@saraharmstrong8150]

I've recently come across your channel. It's very satisfying watching you work. What happens to the mats that's aren't sold??❤

[@stellangios]

Awesome job, I bet that's a VERY happy sheepie!

[@amaoimao2374]

I bet she felt so much better! Wow!

[@NNLBC]

I have a similar one, called Rasta for 2 years, now shaved but her nickname stayed :) cross of Polish wrzosówka and kamerun sheep. great job!

[@sue7974]

You both used to shear our three sheep. Wonderful to find this channel!

[@tartsonawire]

Poor baby. God bless you for helping her out

[@amybeck9161]

I absolutely love y'alls videos. I know the sheep must feel so much better after getting all the hot wool of their bodies. I'd love to lose between 10-15 Lb.s after a haircut. Lol

[@cynhanrahan4012]

You are such a great educator, and so gentle with your client animals. I can't believe you're an Aggie. 😁

[@johnlaporte9331]

Please show the sheded animals longer

[@h.l.asolomonov7674]

That's done beautifully as usual

[@leewillers4621]

I love your videos! You are always so careful and considerate of the animals. Thank you for the video.

[@Debra309]

Watched your videos. All I can say is, AMAZING!! Did my first sheer on my hair sheep. Challenging to say the least but no nicks. Ok maybe just one but all dreadlock are gone!! Really appreciate your videos!!

[@reneebest6502]

That sheep was so happy to get sheered. I think I saw her trying to get into position for one scene.

[@Sandux930]

Dream job right here. Im trying to learn as much as possible about shearing, hoof trimming and animal care

[@kepckatherinec805]

Great job, interesting explanation! I don’t understand how the sheep’s owners could leave her unshed, matted fleece unattended for so long. Was the sheep a victim of neglect, or of ignorance?

[@donnakahriger25]

Me too, KEPC. I find the only upsetting thing is the owner's neglect, but I understand that is out of Katie's control. All she can do is educate and give much needed care to the sheep.

[@AstaraelDarkrahBlack]

I watched a video about a sheep that had run loose for over a decade getting shorn. Something that really bothered me was the over a dozen nicks left on his skin. The shearer cut the wool to an even length but I can't see the reason for it.

[@Slime-Way]

Great job idk how you don't fold under pressure when you almost get to the skin

[@LadyLithias]

I love your content! I have an American Jacob sheep that I bred myself, from a registered Jacob sire, unregistered Jacob dam. This year she had her first lambs (twins) and then shortly thereafter started to shed her wool. I'm curious now if she's got hair sheep in her heritage, but neither her sire nor dam ever did this. It doesn't look like wool drop due to sickness either. How can you tell (at home) if a sheep is a hair cross or just won the luck of the genetic draw and somehow reclaimed the ability to shed her wool like her primitive ancestors. Just curious. I'm getting the shearers out on the 24th and I'll ask them too but I'm just curious if there is a way to tell, and should I just gently pull out the remaining wool (it comes out in tufts with the gentlest of tugs)

[@rightchoiceshearing]

Hey! the best way to tell is look for hair. It will be much coarser than the wool fibers. It is very obvious to a trained eye if hair is present. Your shearer should totally be able to give you an educated answer. 🤘🏻

[@eledhwenmare2403]

There are some hair sheep breeders who have bred a Jacob line that sheds it’s fleece or won’t grow one.

[@sfmmmo7599]

So cute! Amazing job 👏👏👏

[@abhisheksengupta1773]

I’m a man with a lot of body weight and trimming body hair is a pain but after that the feeling is awesome! So I kinda understand how that sheep feels😂😂

[@susanfortner2267]

Excellent tutorial!

[@ColorsofHopeCraftsASMR]

That’s crazy! I just helped my mom wash about 10 pounds of wool, and it reminds me of this.

[@brunfree]

[@ceejay4911]

Great job once again 😊 can that wool be processed?

[@TheCreepyLantern]

the good sheep is happy and free!

[@Bush.69]

you should contact the urban rescue ranch they have sheep but they don’t know how to sheer them😊 you would be a life saver if you could it’s fine if not

[@savvystylelady]

You’re so amazing!!❤❤❤❤

[@TuberoseKisser]

I feel like it should be mandatory to know how to sheer sheep if you plan on owning them tbh. 5 years is really long.

[@pilarduenas7891]

Os admiro muchisimo 😊

[@petervitti9]

Great!

[@pattieh5118]

Wow I’m so glad you two are there to help these forgotten sheep. Do you cut goats too? Does there hair grow long? New here obviously

[@pattieh5118]

Their not there

[@rightchoiceshearing]

I do some goats but I’m not the best at them. They also like to scream and bite the minute you touch them. Combine that with the Odor of Billys and I try to avoid them if I can. I have a few in my route though. Everyone needs a trim. 🤘🏻

[@franciscaperez4867]

Buen trabajo

[@radolfkalis4041]

It blows my mind why people get animals that need special/regular care, like hoof care for horses, shearing for sheep, etc. It takes alot less time and money to keep them up than to catch them up, plus it is just the HUMANE thing to do.

[@shepherdewan]

Good girl 🐑

[@Vee-zx6eh]

Help! I am a 59 woman who loves animals. I have a pet sheep (seen as a baby lamb in one of my videos now grown up) and tried to clip her with my Heingiger Saphir dog clippers with an A5 #7 blade. She is a patient soul I did a terrible job. She is a dorper but doesn't fully shed. May I ask please, what kind of clippers should I buy and what kinds of blades? I also have a set of Double K 401 clippers is there a sheep blade I can use on those? My sheep is tame and is quite good with me handling her. She is patient with the dog clippers but I go through too many blades to get the job done! Help! Thank you so much for your content I cannot stop watching the fleece come off. You are kind to the animals.

[@rightchoiceshearing]

Hey! My advice is always Heiniger XPERTs, the sheep version. There is a very noticeable difference between shears and clippers. Now they run about 500 USD, but you’ll never need anything else. You can buy Osters for 400 dollars but it’s worth the extra for the upgrade. They are lighter which helps not tear up your arms while using and run cooler. The blades I’d recommend are 20 tooth combs. They reduce the chance of nicking as compared to 13s. Dorper have right skin so less chance anyhow. For sharpening, I recommend sending them to premier 1. Many people have success there and it’s pretty inexpensive. I’d buy two sets (two combs, two 4 point cutters) and you should have no problem completing the task. Remember to turn off your shears when your outside of the wool. They rely on the sheep’s grease, as well as oil you provide to prevent friction which will fill them hella fast. Best of luck

[@shepherdewan]

Clever 🐑

[@shepherdewan]

Good girl sheep

[@sushs7991]

Interesting

[@sandybrown1439]

I'm wondering, would her fiber be good like for spinning and things like that if she were sheared every year and not let go to get all matted.

[@ChucPhuongBinh2023]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mssmssmssmss]

Does that kind of mixed wool have commercial value?

[@rightchoiceshearing]

Not at all, the hair ruins it literally.

[@mssmssmssmss]

So she's like a pet that needs grooming. Hope her next time is sooner! 🙂

[@reggiek6730]

Howdy! ‘89

[@brynnmacflynn]

Drives me wild to see how many small holders breed wool and hair sheep. It's not good for the animal, and it's not good for the shearer that has to clean them up.

[@rosablume4346]

Not sure whether it is a woman thing, but you seem to be by far the most nick-less shearer showing stuff on youtube. I will send your videos to a German sheperd (small herd, nature conservation on grassland) who avoids electric shears because of „nicking“ Greetings from a woman, working in garden design/ landscaping and permanently fighting with dude gardeners not to massacre perennials while planting ˋcause the small trowel is not cool
