How to shear sheep

Karol Devaney, a shearing contractor from Co. Sligo, demonstrates how to shear sheep and why it is an important task to carry out.

I really like the way he explains. Well humans don't like going to the dentist but must because of health issues. Same sheep won't like shearing but it's a must.

Good video that shows the technique very well, also well explaiend by the shearer. So, off to try this once again 🤞

Went very well amd much easier than last time. We only have ten ewes and one ram, I did five sheep in the time of what I did one sheep last time, wich was my first time hands on

do they animals ever bite when they are sheared? Do the handlers ever cut their skin when they shave them? Do the males act differently than the females?

[@sproutsman8570]

I never been bitten or heard of anyone who has but I have been rammed by the horn a few times and yes I do and some other shearer I know cut occasionally but then we treat the cut with Terramycin spray and honestly depends what breed ur shearing but yes and no
