  • This week, another head to head, but a Ewe verses a Ram! We tackle the very muscular Beltex breed and see what the differences are when shearing both sexes... and of course, who has the better behind!!! 😉😂

    Shorn Ferocious reminds me of a bulldog. I love to see how gentle you are with them.

    Those sheep definitely stand like bulldogs XD Look at how wide they are, they're bricks! I love how the first UK reaction to this kind of sheep was 'amusement', like, yeah, that one heck of a funny looking sheep, but then that amusement changed to respect at the loads of product they could get from it XD

    The sheep have some "junk in the trunk" as we call it here. Cutest lil sheep butts. They are so beefy in a good way. They are the most muscular breed of aheep I have ever seen. Have a great day ,& weekend. 🫶🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑

    I love the narration and watching how carefully you hold the skin to keep it taught and wrinkle free. Those sheep have the squarest boxy faces and overall look. It's a bit on the extreme side, nevertheless they are cute. In the face, anyway. Opposite to how the Black Nosed Valais are cute 😂😮

    Hi Cammy...Just found your partner channel and I subscribed. I feel your pain with "sticky" sheep! I do my fair share of the same in my own flock. Not to be insensitive to your superior shearing skills, but it's nice to know that even a pro-shearer has his fair share of troubles with the job too! It makes me feel that I'm on the right track with my own shearing. For those who think that it's easy...just come have a go at it sometime! Thanks so much for sharing your work here on the tube! Perhaps an in-depth video on how to sharpen some blades might be a great piece to consider! Cheers from Pennsylvania, USA!

    It would be fabulous if some fleece from each breed was saved to a collection or even enough yarn to knit or crochet a square then assemble the squares to make a blanket. Would be in a museum or sold for lots of money.🦌💌❤️🐑

    The Texel is my wifes favorite breed and after helping her on the farm when i first meet her, i have to say I fell in love with them as well. But the best was traveling to Texel in Holland to vist them in there homeland :) She left the farm a few years back now, but i still keep promicing her that i will buy her a texel one day :)

      Not sure to be honest! This breed does have close wool and combined with the time of year made them quite sticky. Both very popular breeds now

    Cammy why are some sheep sticky like this in general and some just peel off. Is this to do with age / time of year and lactation.

    • @shearingseason4965
      @shearingseason4965  Před rokem +2

      Part of the breeds characteristics, but also the time of year. As the weather warms, it brings out the lanolin make them easier to shear! 👍

  • @hayleywilson6138
    @hayleywilson6138 Před rokem +6

    When you say they are sticky, is that due to dirt, or lanolin, or just very short wool?

    • @shearingseason4965
      @shearingseason4965  Před rokem

      The wool is tighter to the skin in this breed, plus the lanolin at this time of year, makes it trickier to come off! 👍

    From my minute knowledge of sheep, is that lanolin or is it something else you said was sticky? Maybe a Shetland sheep as a suggestion.❤My bright pink hoodie has been admired by the way…they are telling me I’m obsessed.. yup they are right❤️

    • @shearingseason4965
      @shearingseason4965  Před rokem +1

      Combination of the breed characteristics and the lanolin, yes. The warmer weather will bring out the lanolin making it a bit easier, so sheared these a little bit early. 💪

    I've only ever seen the double muscled beef cattle. What a neat breed! Were they originally bred from Texels? Their faces look very similar. Between that and the -tex in the breed name, I couldn't help wondering. But I'm just an enthusiast. Not an expert.
