I’m from Australia and grew up on a dairy and sheep farm. People always wonder why shearing is so hard on your body. Apart from the constant bending and vibration in your hand and arm, you also have to wrestle and move them around. I have nothing but praise and admiration for people who shear for a living.

All I could think while watching is - this is a job that takes tremendous agility and strength. Looks like many ways to get injured - the most obvious is taking a kick from these deceptively strong animals.

Reminds me of one of my moms head strong rams, he unfortunately learned with our old shearer that if he just fought hard an long enough the guy would give up so he became so difficult to care shear. The shearer said that he would have to be "restrained and stretched" and it was awful, he ended up hurting him badly. We fired him and got this other shearer that herd of our plight and literally he worked with him for six minutes and he stopped fighting completely! It was amazing.

Wondering not only what a big ram like that weighs, but what the fleece might weigh as well. Laughed when you said "at home Lizzie's the alpha male" and then "get a little off the cheek here." That was pretty cheeky of you... the first comment😊. Really instructive video. I thought of how much potential there is for harm to both shearer and sheep - those sharp clippers going so fast could inflict some 'shearious' damage. Well done Cammy

It is nice that once you get them sitting on their tail and leaning back slightly, 98% of sheep will immediately relax and let you do your job. That feature was likely intentionally breaded into them. Sheep have been domesticated for thousands of years, and over that time, we have kept the best and eaten the rest.
