Same here. This is magically satisfying somehow 🤪🤪

[@funnycoconutanimatics3877]

It’s really nice to see you feeding him and giving him love afterwards. Sheering isn’t cruel, but I think positive reinforcement after a new and uncomfortable experience like that for an animal makes a huge difference and keeps trust. Love this video 👍

It's not just that shearing isn't cruel. It's mandatory now. Sheep are domesticated animals, and have been sheared for thousands of years by humans. We've bred the sheep that grow the most wool and because of this sheep grow wool at an incredible rate. Sheep that aren't sheared regularly become overgrown with wool. They become hot, heavy, and eventually immobile if they aren't taken care of by a human. They rely on our care to survive.

[@funnycoconutanimatics3877]

@@Vesdus Absolutey agree 👍 - In the long run while their wool builds up, it's definitely necessary to shear them to avoid these issues.

Cats and sheep. An understanding that people have not fully come to ken. On our farm when working in the sheep yards there was always cats watching. One day there was a big tom that was a stranger, never seen again, but he stayed for hours. At shearing time farm cats would visit the shed, not for long as that would interrupted hunting.

Hahaha! I remember when my 3rd son was little and he was given a pair of tennis shoes. I could see immediately that he wasn't a great fan of them, so I used the best psychology a mom can. I got all excited and grabbed one and quickly inspected it. The said something like "Wow! These are those fast shoes I heard about! " he fell for it and loved the shoes.

[@shearingseason4965]

Haha that’s how i got tricked into buying those clippers 🤣🤣

[@mortanos8938]

Wow what a pro. It is soothing to see how gently yet fast you did yer job. When I see how they shear the Sheep down under it churns my guts. They have plenty to do, so they waste no time with being careful, instead needing extra time to sew stitches on the many nasty cuts they cause to those poor sheep, and as if that were not bad enough they beat them from A to B. They have zero compassion. It is only about time and money there and that sickens me. I respect you for how you perform your trade. Thankyou for that, and greetings from Germany.

[@saturnosring]

What a gorgeous fleece!! That must be very soft, being the first time he was shorn. Good job! I’m sure Archie will remember you for the next time, it’s amazing how well he behaved for his first haircut.

[@MrMagyar5]

I bet he feels SOO Much better after that trim. He seemed hesitant in the beginning but it looks like he was relaxing for the end of it

Gorgeous work. Archie was such a good lad for the shear too. Love to see it.

[@TheBlightedStreamer]

That was genuinely first time I've ever seen a sheep shearing and thought, nice job both are chilled out...usually I'm like "are you sure this is the only way you can shear a sheep? Do you really need to wrestle and dominate the sheep then cut its wool of like some mad butcher" surely its a symbiotic relationship the sheep gets its old wool off and can stay cool the person gets some wool to sell

[@bq1428]

Hi Cammy, I’m originally from the West Riding of Yorkshire, and our local sheep breed was named after the local market town, pronounced Pennystone. (If you look it up, halfway between Huddersfield and Sheffield, you’ll see why KZbin might have a fit about leaving the town name uncensored.). I don’t know if there are any purebreds left, as the breed seems to have morphed into the Whitefaced Woodland. Anyhow, if you can find one, please have a go at shearing it. Thanks.

[@lisatruman4320]

Romney is always a favorite for me. I have shorn a couple small flocks of CVM's this year. I doubt you have them in the UK. They were developed by crossing Romney with Rambouillet and adding a bit of Corriedale in the mix. Fine wool in colors excellent for hand spinning, year round breeding and good carcass quality. Fortunately they got the calm demeanor of the Romney for the most part but some ram lines can be aggressive.

I used to have five Jacobs and used hand shears on them, which was easy enough at the time. My sister in law had a pet lamb, 3 years old which had never been sheared and she asked me if I'd do it; I said sure. When I went to her place the ewe was in a small yard, her fleece was very overgrown, and I went to climb in with her. At this point my SIL told me not to go there, or the sheep, "would get me." I remember asking her how I could shear her remotely trying not to laugh, and climbed over and did the deed; like Archie, she sat very well which was good as she was a big girl, and I think she was happy to be free of her burden. I also did a friend's Shetland sheep. I told him that they were plucked, rather than clipped, generally, but he was adamant. As with my SIL, he warned me to be careful of the ram, who I could easily pick up, he was so tiny. I do like sheep though am too crippled these days to keep any, it's nice to see how friendly you are with yours.

Just stumbled upon your gem of a channel and this is so reminiscent of how my mom described her childhood during the time my Grandpa was a sheep farmer in Indiana. She wasn't the biggest fan of the shearing bit, the rams didn't care to cooperate very often like this handsome Ryeland! I've always been curious to try it maybe one day lol. I especially admire the Scottish Blackface breed. Very well behaved ram though! I can tell you really care about these beauties. 🐏❤🥰

Reducing my numbers each year. I have a full-time career job in the medical field. I have been shearing mostly small hands pinning flocks for over 20 years. Sheep, Angora goats, llamas and alpacas but sheep are my favorite followed by llamas. Shearing was an excellent job for a single mom with no child care support. I am now 61 and the kids are grown and on their own. They have a wealth of knowledge gained from traveling with me while growing up shearing.
