Overgrown 4 Yr Old Feral Llama’s First Ever Shearing

[@amwelty]

"Sharp Gear No Fear, so let's get out there and Shear." Best catch phrase ever!

Afterwords when he was just standing there he was like "thats it? Ok..maybe i over reacted a little"

[@littlebearrunin66]

All I could think, when you said how hot it was, is oh lord, he has worn that coat 3 summers!! He is probably real happy now that he is cleaned up!

I loved the way you handled him. The amusing scene was his getting into the trailer with a mouthful of hay and a stance that “lied” to the other llamas: “I fixed her! “ 😂

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

I’m surprised the men were yelling/talking to each other! Most people who work with large animals know the value of quiet and calm

[@Amblin80s]

I'm not surprised when a man does something stupid. It could have also been intended as sabotage, but my money's on general stupidity, especially given how long this one hasn't been shorn.

[@B.Harper7]

Let's be honest, it's an old guy and his grandson in Texas who, haven't even shorn their Mountain dwelling animals in 4 years; we know they're not intelligent. Even aside from an empathy thing, why let any part of your herd get stressed out, overheated, and die?

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

I was most impressed that she bluntly told them to be quiet. That llama had never been touched or shorn, it must’ve felt like a real,shock, and both she and he could’ve been hurt. The animal’s safety and comfort, and her safety, were most important. She had to focus intensely and keep herself and the animal safe, and they were insensitive to both. She stayed in firm control of the llama AND the guys. I didn’t see this as a feminism thing, or a reason for viewers to take a swipe at their gender. I saw just two professionals trying to do a hard, dangerous job without undue stress or extended time on the llama, and the men yelling was inappropriate. The llama was more important, and he needed to have a good first experience to build on, for everybody’s sake. When things are crucial there’s no time for social niceties.

[@argusfleibeit1165]

Lack of respect for the animal, or the worker. You know these guys.

[@longlowdog]

@@Amblin80s I'm a retired Scottish shepherd and sheep shearer. I've watched this ladies channel with interest and admiration but if this is actually a covert site for the abuse of males then I'm out of here. Good job, well done, another enemy made.

[@catlady9748]

I know in these cases you really don't care about making the animal "pretty", but I do just have to say, once you got all that dirty matted fibre off he, he really was a handsome lad, really stunning spotted markings. Thanks to you he can show them off now!

[@kasag37]

I was thinking the same thing, he has a sharp looking coat.

[@curlygurly2112]

when the llama was screaming my only thought was "THAT'S what they sound like???"

[@anna9072]

For an unhandled animal he’s very calm!

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

A lot of it has to do with how skilled she is at reading what he’s feeling and thinking, moving when he’s had enough in one spot, coming back later…. Letting him know she isn’t going away, either. It was like watching a dance with an experienced partner.

[@rosestansfield5516]

I love how you are able to get into their head and understand their instinctive behaviours. Nice communication with him. You left him with a good impression this time and hopefully he remembers it next year. Great job, as always Katy and Darian (sp).

I don't have any animals to shear, but I enjoy learning from you. You are brilliant and your empathy for the animals is great to see.

[@BelleMorte1183]

Who on earth would wanna watch your videos WITHOUT your informative, serious, and often humorous commentary????!!! You and your wife are beautiful inside and out!! What you 2 are doing can be extremely dangerous but you do it for these poor animals so they can live as safe, comfortable, and cared for as they should have been from day 1. I appreciate what you guys do!!!

[@Bea_Esser]

I think some people might like the video without voice over as background noise?

[@BelleMorte1183]

@Bea_Esser We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. I personally didn't know anything about sheep and llama shearing, so I not only enjoy listening to the voiceovers but also the fascinating facts by 2 fascinating and interesting women. I think it's also quite kind of them to do 2 videos of the same shearing with and without their awesome commentary as very few youtubers do that.

[@pamelasonday-swiger8708]

Loved the longer video! Nice to occasionally see the whole process and enjoy your interesting instruction. Thanks!

[@NancyBryantIdeas]

Yes, it is nice. I watched both versions and the one with the voice-over is more enjoyable. A bit more work with editing and when you are exhausted from this kind of manual labor sitting down to edit a video is probably the last thing you want to do. So thank you Katy for doing so.

[@jaygail7341]

I like your videos… live in Canada, west coast… you both are awesome with this animals… thanks for sharing

[@jdblhop]

Just want to say you girls are amazing, and I bet if they could the animals would say thank you.

[@VickieKluge]

Watchers need to be told about what calmness does for giving the animal the best experience. I like how you show him his antics are not effective in stopping you from cleaning off the growth. Shearing is an important profession .

[@genmulder]

In the ever changing field of llama shearing and the importance of the well needed education on this subject, I do believe that Darian and Katie are the Golden Standard of Shearing. Greetings from South Africa 🤗🇿🇦

I got so emersed in this video I forgot where I was. Who I was. Thank you for taking me away from the world even for a few mins. Jeez that video was captivating. Keep em coming. Great job too BTW.

[@bittersweet3-]

Missed U guys. U did so well with him. I got the point of calmness when the owner yelled. The llama seemed glad be with U at the end. No spitting, or running off kinda like a thank U. Ciao.

[@stephaniefain1863]

Man, he is just beautiful. It’s sad to see him afraid, but I know it has to be done. We have recently adopted a baby toy poodle that shys away from every attempt to pick her up. She’s very sweet, and loves to be held and snuggle, but getting a hold on her is always a process. The game is to stop it from being a game. If she grows up, thinking a game of dodge dog is funny, it could be dangerous. The recall, and scoop up might save her life someday, and chasing her around just won’t work. Sorry guys, this is a shearing channel, not a doggy channel, but watching that young man get scared and angry just brought Dolly to mind. Good job girl, he’s gonna be ok now, and he has a new friend.

[@B.Harper7]

100% yes!! We teach animals how to respond and react to us they have taught their lama's how to see people, and how to react poorly, unfortunately. Katy is amazing 👏

[@teresauplinger1601]

KZbin suggested this video because of other sheep/dog grooming channels I enjoy. I thought I'd give this one a go. It's an immediate new favourite channel, and I'll tell you why. I love learning about the process and the information being used to complete a job without distressing the animal more than necessary, and while this video is exactly that, I also love it for your voice-over. You are SO eloquently spoken, and with all the respect in the world, I was raised in Montana and I've not met a cowboy who could both rope and eloquently explain how he does it at the same time. Those hands-on skills just don't seem to lend themselves to being well spoken and you hit both nails on the head in one brilliant video. Thanks for sharing your insights and experience with us!
