Yes, some sheep squirm and kick some while being sheared because they either A) don't like to be restrained and held in one place where they're not free to move and walk around, and/or B) depending on the shearer, the shearing can feel too rough on the sheep and even get nicks and cuts (which the sheep would feel as an aggregating pinch, in the same way we would feel getting a little cut from something sharp). But in this video, this shearer did a very good job, was gentle, and the sheep was nice and relaxed, she didn't even squirm or kick once
A lot of that has to do with the sheep being properly fasted so she isn't uncomfortable. A sheep's rumen can hold up to 6 gallons of gas-producing liquid, which presses on their lungs when they're sitting on their butts. An empty sheep in a balanced position has no reason to fight = HAPPY SHEEP! :-)
Excellent upload, far surpasses any I've seen so far. His style of explanation is so wise yet simple. I've learned more from this video than any other. Coupled with Mike's/your upload, also from Penn State extension, on the set up of the machine, it may be all one needs to leave clean sheep and fabulous fleece to give to their wife. Now to get through the 16 raw fleeces, she says... LOL
So concise and easy to follow, theres plenty of good videos on shearing but you are so much easier to put into practise because of the way you do it. Also get that ewe a fucking beer fella she sat there like a bloody champ😂
This sheep didn't even squirm or kick once. She looked very relaxed. I think that some sheep squirm and kick because they're either getting sheared too roughly and getting nicked and cut a little, and/or some sheep more than others don't like to be restrained and held in one place where they're not free to move at their own will. Also, I've read that sheep don't like to be in any position where their legs and hoofs are sticking up and not on the ground. Sheep rarely at their own will leave any position where their legs are on the ground, they even sleep crouched down while still facing upright with their belly against the ground and legs curled up on the ground
Very good video! I tried a different method first and it wasn't working so I switched to this one and had much better luck. My only complaint is that a couple of times when the camera changes to the ewe's face instead of the shearing and then changes back to the shearing it skips some of what he does in some critical areas like the left front leg. I'm still struggling in some of those areas but getting better.

Looks like his comb teeth are touchign the sheep skin - wonder how he makes those long motions without the teeth stabbing them or cuting them all to heck? Dad went to hair sheep years ago because the last sheep shearer in our area would leave them a bloddy mess.
The tag on the ear is to identify the animal, without it, it would be impossible to keep records. Many if not all states also require a Scrappies tag if the animal will ever be leaving the farm. Scrappies is a disease found in sheep and the tag has the farm's identification number on it, so if it has Scrappies it can be traced back to that farm.
He's doing something funny... all the shearers I have watched get the whole fleece to come away almost like a sheet. He has little bits falling off everywhere.
@@jordansinclair281 Well, if you're learning to shear you probably aren't going to have beautiful cuts either. This is teaching beginners who typically are just trying to get the job done. The fancy skills come later.
Tatyanna Robinson The only pain is in your lower back if you've been at it all day and aren't used to it. The sheep is completely relaxed and is not uncomfortable at all. Even if it was uncomfortable or painful for the animal... it would be much less comfortable than suffering in the heat and dying of heat exhaustion. Go put on 4 or 5 layers of heavy winter wool sweaters and hang out in the summer sun all day. You'd gladly take a moment of being rolled around on your bum to be rid of all that weight and heat. :)
You are a monster, If you believe that he needs to hurt this poor innocent being . One day you will pay for the stuff you say and do you are a poor excuse of a human
Thank you for this excellent, clearly explained, demonstration!
Very informative, and very gentle with the sheep. You are a professional for sure!
We just tried our hand at shearing our own flock and it surely did not good this smooth at all! Great video!
The sheep never resisted at all and was perfectly relaxed. If I didn't know any better, I'd say the sheep was enjoying herself!
The sheep is being a good girl
MICHAEL MAH PHOTOGRAPHY yes she is a good girl

What a well behaved girl and a great job Mike! Thanks for the upload.
Yes she is a good girl that sheep
You're an excellent instructor, with useful explanations - thank you
Hi
Lol do not try to shear like that lol
If you want to learn something about sheepshearing you should definitely watch this video, It was very informative thanks.
That sheep didn't fight back at all. He was like okay, I know the drill.
She so well behaved that sheep
This is one happy sheep.

That is one chill sheep. She's like "Yeah, yeah, stop talking and finish my haircut".
Wish my cat was this calm when I tried to comb it.
Thank you for the video, nice sheep too.

Alvex Ok I think it’s been drugged to make it docile
@@JesterEric, maybe. But it might also be that like humans, some sheep have calmer attitudes than others
Greetings from Uruguay, thanks you very much
Thanks for this demonstration. Could you recommand a clipper?

Nice work but I still prefer the Bowen technique. Thanks for sharing
How many sheeps well take to change thafirst blades ? Thx

Yes I put mine in a shelter if it's going to rain to keep them dry mine are going get sheared on May 10th
Merry xmas
This video is very good, but would have been even more helpful with more closeups of the sheep being sheared. Thanks.
excellent instruction, thanks.
What a cutie. She seems so content.
She is a good girl that sheep
She's like bruh im too fat for you me twisting and throwing me around like this lmao
Good girl sheep she is a cute sheep
Good girl sheep
♥.♥
Nice share. Thanks...
the makers of UGG should watch this video!
I know right? I only wear Uggs because they're comfortable but I never wear real fur
She is a cute sheep
she is a good girl that sheep
Sweet little girl
Anny Downs yes she is a good girl a cute sheep
nice ^^
Why aren't the sheep bathed/washed before shearing?
Why is the washing usually done after shearing?
And them food after they been sheared they have been good girls
Why is there always a tag on the ear
The tag on the ear is to identify the animal, without it, it would be impossible to keep records. Many if not all states also require a Scrappies tag if the animal will ever be leaving the farm. Scrappies is a disease found in sheep and the tag has the farm's identification number on it, so if it has Scrappies it can be traced back to that farm.

The wool's too thin. But he's not a very good shearer anyway.

You can type in Ewan cuddling Welsh Annemarie she is a good girl that sheep
Smart
More blows than a may weather fight
Ol skool alright haha
I should have married a farmer. :-)
I wish I had that machine my one is Chinese cheep crap one 🤦🏻♂️ but it helps a bit!
Why didn't she put up a struggle?
Probably been sheared before, trusts her owner and knows that it feels pretty good to get rid of the heavy wool when it's hot.
dontbeadrone she is a good girl
You can give them a drug or feed additive to make them docile
At 11:43 it looks like the guy killed the sheep
How fucking . Watch Australian or new Zealand shearers...
Not much wool on that sheep
Not the way a sheep is shorn!
3:25 & 3:30 😆😃 jajajajajajajajajajajaja!!!!!!!!!
😭😭😭😭😭 poooorrrrr animal!!!!!
Wow u need 2 go to a shearing school can u shear more then 100 a day ? CZcams bryne darby lol
This looks so painful and wrong 😔
Yesss i thought i was the only one

He is doing it wrong, he needs to smash it in the face a few times with his clippers.
....I hope you stay away from lambs and sheep
You are a monster, If you believe that he needs to hurt this poor innocent being . One day you will pay for the stuff you say and do you are a poor excuse of a human
Shouldn’t really do training videos if you don’t really know how to shear 😮
