Aw! 😊 thats so nice! Say hey to everyone from me! Im a relocated farm kid too. Its hard getting used to an apartment after being in the sticks for 43 some years. Kind of like moving into a beehive! Ive been here since 2013 so its a bit better now. 😊

I grew up on a sheep station in Australia, and I remember how soothing it is to watch a shearer work. I can almost smell the lanolin through the screen.

@@cindyharmer6345 it varies by number of head and species. For us, 45-30 for llamas and alpacas. 20-5 per sheep.45/20 are for places that only have one or two.

Omg the llama that hadn't been sheered in 6 years 😭. Thanks for helping him. I pray he gets the regular sheering he needs from now on.❤❤

[@alexandra2jerry]

That little Shetland Sheep May just melted my heart. They don’t get any cuter than that!

[@Caninecancersucksrocks]

We use raw fleece that we get from neighbours for compost, and as insulation in horizontal bee hives (we’re in Alberta, Canada). Really feel bad for that one severely matte Llama - can’t imagine how good that must’ve felt afterwards though! Glad you were able to help him ❤️

[@PhoenixFires9]

I never thought of that for bee hives! Great idea! 🌷🇨🇦

[@sandrahertel6282]

Red hot must have felt so much better after the mattes are gone. He really is a pretty colouring.

[@LightsOn128]

Love watching, just can’t get enough of seeing the wool come off like butter and the animals’ relief after it’s done. Amazing that spouses can work together so well. My husband and I are soon celebrating 33 years together and being friends and just laughing together are key. Keep shearing💕

[@Eebydeeby2112]

They both are so cool and so beautiful! Love their smiles and their way of talking!

[@CassandraHouse]

It’s amazing from the perspective of a dog groomer that sheep, llama, and alpaca can get used to shearing after a couple goes but some dogs never get used to grooming even if they’ve been coming once a month since they were puppies

[@est9949]

11:42 "She led them in all their naked glory right out to pasture." has got to be the best sentence ever spoken 😂 the friendship between a naked llama and a pack of naked sheep is so adorable someone should write a children's book about it.

[@LuckyLarry]

[@jen5714]

Likewise, one of their videos just popped up one day and I have been watching ever since. My husband started telling me about a video with a sheep that needed its horn trimmed away from it’s eye and all I could say is “Right Choice Shearing”

[@careygagne7666]

I love your personalities, your energies, & how you approach your videos with the hearts of teachers. Your jobs look absolutely grueling & like heaven. I had the misfortune to grow up an animal-loving country girl in a large family of exclusively city folk, who not only didn't like or understand animals (and thus, me), but who were almost entirely anti-animal. I wanted nothing more than to live on a farm with animals, poop and all, and never even had anyone to understand that need or allow me to spend any time like that. 55 years later, with a body not holding up so well and no funds to start, it's too late to dive in the deep end. I'm grateful for youtube videos like yours, that allow me a look into a life I would have loved. Thank-you for sharing it.

[@Imoria]

I'm exhausted from just watching!

[@Laffingrl]

I was so mesmerized by how much work ,how skilled and how fast you accomplish it all! I also loved the name Dolly Llama! LOL

[@zonagalesweeney3069]

Would love to see longer and more videos as they are really interesting. I enjoy watching how both of you make the animals look as comfortable as possible while you work on them. Also your narrations are a hoot!

[@joshuapritchett6259]

I think those llamas did pretty good to stay calm.

[@sallykeller7942]

I love how calm the animals are that you are shearing and that you minimally nick the animals. There are videos that I will not watch because I can feel the animal's panic and hurt. Thumbs up!!!

[@roushsalah05]

I don’t like how you have to keep explaining that you are not hurting them for some people who don’t understand how you do your job. Awesome video! Great job.

[@mnk9774]

[@markharrisllb]

I never thought I’d find shearing so enthralling. I came here from your 'shorts' which are fascinating. You are superb at explaining what you are doing and why, and you always put the animal first and foremost. I love seeing hard working young people busy in their own business but flipping heck you take the busy part to the extreme.

Thanks so much for letting us go along with the 2 of you for the day. Many of we city folks don’t get to see this aspect of life. I can’t imagine doing all that in one day and then getting up and doing it all again the next day! I guess that means you don’t need a membership at the gym. 🙂

[@saraherber1887]

As usual, you have given interesting information that calls me to read more about animal domestication. The animals seem relieved to get rid of their fiber, especially the one who had not been given timely shearing for seven years. Thank you for your energetic and witty commentary.

[@maggsbufton1969]

It’s extremely satisfying to watch sheep being shorn; takes me back to my childhood on the family farm. Same with Graeme Parker’s ( Hoof GP) hoof trimming cattle, mostly the lassies and a few bulls..his vids are amazing. What makes all these vids so wonderful is the love , gentleness and care you all have for your charges and the passion you have for the work you are doing…
