As someone who knows nothing about sheering animals, I can understand how people would ask “why don’t you stop if they don’t like it?” Or “isn’t that hurting them?” I’m glad you point out how you can’t let them boss you around and know you have to work to earn trust at the same time. As well as pointing out practices to avoid them getting hurt debunks the fact it’s not always easy but like the dentist visits, it’s not always fun but it’s necessary.
Thank you for explaining how you “read” what the animals are thinking, and work in a way that calms their nerves, rather than confronting then and making them even more frightened. It appears the Standing Up position works well for shearing rookies; the critters that lay down for the process must be more familiar with haircuts.
How lovely you work as a team to do your important work. I remember the Shearer coming to the farm to shear the flock. It was hard to watch the ewes I loved handled so harshly pushed around and ultimately dominated and fearful. Most had bloody cuts and sometimes burns from overheated clippers. I am so pleased to hear you share about building trust with the animals proving kindness matters. I am new to your channel and will certainly be a regular viewer.
I think you’re both amazing, beautiful way you handle n care for other folks animals.means so much for all. Kudos, love n blessings to you both.🇬🇧🙏🏻😊🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Love the addition of breed history and animal behavior. And especially love seeing the rescue animals getting much needed care (although, of course, it would be nice if they didn't have to be rescued in the first place). That freak out was scary but you seemed so calm!
Thank you for your patience and kindness to llamas. I've worked with handled/untamed llamas and horses for years. I appreciate how you balance allowance for movement and let them rebalance for calm. Llamas are so loyal when they trust you.
I will never not love watching you guys work. Understanding and constantly watching their behaviour and earning that trust all while doing a damn good shear! And we both know next time they still won't enjoy it but will handle it so much better. And nothing wrong with needing a lie down part way. It's exhausting looking so good
Good job. Good explanation of what to do with their behavior, so they do not learn what works to keep you away. Just like horses, dogs and kids! Enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you, for explaining so well about the halter, when the lamas get scared and drop. My first worry was choking them. But nope. :) And it's cool that you keep going. I wonder how many other animals would do better 'working through the fear' dogs, cats, etc.
You two are an amazing team. Watching you gave me the courage to try clipping my shire horse. It went well. Thank you for being great role models and for your work.
I would like to thank you too young ladies for making these videos. I am a contractor and archaeologists and I am away from my family a lot and quite frankly I miss my kids the two legged and four-legged ones and watching you with the animals helps a lot with the homesickness. So just thank you today I needed you
Whoa! Was scared for you for a bit there. Glad you had the experience to know how to handle potentially dangerous situations!!! Getting addicted to your videos. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It's great that you explain what and why.... and also their behaviour (especially as they've never had human contact) . Great blog and you are obviously very good at what you do.
You and your wife seem like such beautiful people, and your passion and care for the animals and what you do really shines through in these videos. Not sure why the algorithm sent me your way, but I'm glad it did!
I love the way you stay steady with them not letting them learn bad habits. You are great. You and your wife make me wish i had a llama or a sheep to shear. Alas, ducks don't count. Lol.
Finding the balance between pushing her comfort zone but not outside her safety zone. You respected their "I don't feel safe" boundary by changing where you sheared, while Pushing their comfort zone boundary by continuing the process. I know this is a couple years old, but I love how compassionate you are and truly tuned into the needs of the animals you work with. Thank you💗
You guys are just amazing!! I teared up because I know how scared farmed animals can get. I run a sanctuary and I'm going to say it again. Soooo wish you guys were here in South Australia xx
Something about this just hits my soul and I’m full tears of joy for these angels😭🥰😭 it’s like I feel the relief of holding so much that doesn’t even serve❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️ y’all are amazing🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
I got scared for you a bit there. Dont want uto get hurt. But I remembered you have been doing this for years now. And ur words are comforting. Thank you for explaining every part of the video as it happens. That way I dont feel scared for you and for these beautiful creatures🥰🥰🥰 binge watching ur channel by the way. LOVE IT SOOO MUCH!! totally a big fan🥰🥰🙏🏼
You are so gentle and patient. And yet you don’t take any BS. God (or whatever being you believe in) bless you for taking such wonderful car of the animals you shear. ❤❤❤❤
I love how you explain everything and also seeing how gentle but firm you are with animals that have been neglected &/or abused. (I personally foster cats that other fosters won't take, so I know how much patience and TLC it takes to build that trust). Ya'll keep rockin it!!
I've watched this pro before and she is AMAZING!!!! She has a connection understanding animals and that is not only amazing but rare at the level she is. Hat's off to you young lady! 💕
i will not think even in my slightest imagination that she would ever harm and abuse her.. Mad respect to her not just nourishing and caring them but just for even working there😘...
You guys are awesome thank you for sharing this video it's always nice to see professional people doing annoying how to do the job even though it was a little bit scary to watch it was nice to see how confident you are and making those animals feel safe and calm be safe stay healthy peace
My first reaction is "dangitapparently she is maried!" Hahaha no but seriously you are a cool person, and have a great talent reading animal behavior!!
You can’t let them win…. They have to understand that it for their own good… and that you’re not hurting them and being as gentle as you can…. I can’t say enough just awesome you two ladies are!!!!! GO TEAM WORK!!!!!!
I My husband and I watch before bedtime and we learn so much! You take such care with each animal and thank you for showing us what you do! Fascinating!
SisStar... we got a wolf rescue from our son a few years back... looking like those poor llamas... it took me a very long time to get down to the unmatted parts... poor old Jake.. a gentleman through the ordeal.. wish I had some help with him like you... awesome to watch and hear your decisions.. always to help Peace ✌️ Prosperity ❤️ Love ❤️ 🙏❤️🙏
You guys are Rock Stars. I just love your videos and how patient and living you are to all the animals. I have seen other people shearing and they are mean ti them. Im hooked. I will always watch your videos. Its so nice to see you two loving your job. Keep it up the world needs more people like you.
I wouldn't do what you do no matter how much I got paid. You're amazing at what you do! You're both incredible human beings! I love these videos. The way you work with these beautiful animals is hero level stuff!
Poor llamas! I am glad they were rescued, because they were hurt sometime along the way by their former owners! It is good the present owners had you to call on for shearing! You understand animals.😊
You are so fantastic! I have followed you for a while and I'm so happy and impressed how good you are with nervous and skittish animals. You give them calm and structure with something they don't always understand. Another video creator, Ima Survivor and Donkey Sanctuary, Lester Morrow's place, tries every year to shear their alpackas, and every year it's a three ring circus - a kind and respectful one - where the two grown alpackas always come away with hilarious haircuts! This year their little girl Indie will have her first cut, and they are terrified what her mom Annie will do to protect her, she's a formidable mom who controls not only their little flock but the rest of the place too. She was just as nervous around her belly when she carried Indie as Lira was, and they carry their kids for years! Ernie, dad, seem calmer than Annie, but he can spit almost as good as her! I wonder what crazy haircuts they will get this year! 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
An absolute pleasure to watch, constantly demonstrating patience and empathy with all the animals worked on. But until you watch some of the cowboys on YT who have No Business working with animals, do you truly appreciate how great this channel is ❤❤❤
I also thought that lamas and alpacas actually bite their rivals genital off. Sounds crazy, but I could be wrong and if I am wrong this would be the first time in my life lol jk
I love how you guys do the animals cuz they're so compassionate of the work you do that is so awesome I would love to learn how to do something like that because I love animals so much
You guys are awesome! It's so impressive how you're able to work thru the shearing with a lama that is not really happy about it. You handled it so well. I bet next shearing on those honeys they'll feel more comfortable with it.
You are amazing! No unnecessary stress on these guys! I love your compassion and care for these beasts!!! Now,. How in all hades do you keep cool and survive Texas???
Literally all I think when someone or something tries to get away or something is “THAT’S MY PURSE! I DON’T KNOW YOU!” Women always do better when someone kicks after screaming that. Good job!
As someone who knows nothing about sheering animals, I can understand how people would ask “why don’t you stop if they don’t like it?” Or “isn’t that hurting them?” I’m glad you point out how you can’t let them boss you around and know you have to work to earn trust at the same time.

Just what I would want to say! Plus Her explaining why they are sensitive by the legs..I didn't know that they bit each other on the legs .
How lovely you work as a team to do your important work. I remember the Shearer coming to the farm to shear the flock. It was hard to watch the ewes I loved handled so harshly pushed around and ultimately dominated and fearful. Most had bloody cuts and sometimes burns from overheated clippers. I am so pleased to hear you share about building trust with the animals proving kindness matters. I am new to your channel and will certainly be a regular viewer.
Thank you for your kindness, I’m sorry that wasn’t your past experience 💕
She is ALWAYS gentle and kind to every single animal she shears.. I've seen a hundred vids of her shearing expertise.
I think you’re both amazing, beautiful way you handle n care for other folks animals.means so much for all. Kudos, love n blessings to you both.🇬🇧🙏🏻😊🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Great blog and you are obviously very good at what you do.
I started watching the channel just a week ago but the videos are really nice and fun to look at, keep up the good work!
You and your wife seem like such beautiful people, and your passion and care for the animals and what you do really shines through in these videos. Not sure why the algorithm sent me your way, but I'm glad it did!
I'm so touched that you're so patient with these animals.
So satisfying to see them loose that heavy coat. Great work ma'am really enjoy your channel 👍👏
I love the way you stay steady with them not letting them learn bad habits. You are great.
You and your wife make me wish i had a llama or a sheep to shear. Alas, ducks don't count. Lol.
Lira’s little nostril flare at the end. Oh my goodness! So cute!
That relief must be so amazing for these animals A+ both of ya!
Wow! Amazing bravery shearing those bucking llamas! 🦙

Thank yoh and kudos to people like yall who considers the feelings and gain the trust of animals
So glad you did not get injured! It is wonderful to see your patience and kindness. I wonder if you talk to them as you work.

Hat's off to you young lady! 💕
You are kind, yet firm, to your 'customers'. Its nice to see someone so concerned with animals!
i will not think even in my slightest imagination that she would ever harm and abuse her.. Mad respect to her not just nourishing and caring them but just for even working there😘...
I love how gentle you are with the animals you work with. More parents need to work off your example of gentle yet firm. Thanks for your work.
You guys are awesome thank you for sharing this video it's always nice to see professional people doing annoying how to do the job even though it was a little bit scary to watch it was nice to see how confident you are and making those animals feel safe and calm be safe stay healthy peace

4:25 I die laughing because she was scratching, I love the support there buddy?
You are EXCELLENT❣️ People who own their own pets is NOT in owning, but you know owning up, working a great job & are careful❣️
You can’t let them win…. They have to understand that it for their own good… and that you’re not hurting them and being as gentle as you can…. I can’t say enough just awesome you two ladies are!!!!! GO TEAM WORK!!!!!!
Enjoyable to watch a confident person. Good narration. You really connect.
All I can think of is the fact that you don't have to saddle them up and ride them!
I My husband and I watch before bedtime and we learn so much! You take such care with each animal and thank you for showing us what you do! Fascinating!

Nice video.. You and your wife are awesome, I really enjoy watching your videos.
I also thought that lamas and alpacas actually bite their rivals genital off. Sounds crazy, but I could be wrong and if I am wrong this would be the first time in my life lol jk
That intro was was spectacular. Great video. If you one hour episodes I would watch them all 🥰
You’re doing a great job!
I love how you guys do the animals cuz they're so compassionate of the work you do that is so awesome I would love to learn how to do something like that because I love animals so much
You guys are awesome! It's so impressive how you're able to work thru the shearing with a lama that is not really happy about it. You handled it so well. I bet next shearing on those honeys they'll feel more comfortable with it.
So cool how you work through the sheering and ignore the tantrum.
Loving that nostril flare at the end…”hmphhh!” from Lira. Just catching up on your vids, I am hooked
Totally addicted to your channel. Thank you.
I've only been watching your videos a short time and I really enjoy them.
What great commentary!!
You are amazing! No unnecessary stress on these guys! I love your compassion and care for these beasts!!! Now,. How in all hades do you keep cool and survive Texas???
Great job, great video and appreciate the process
Straight up talent, both you ladies 😘
Once again a Great job! I love watching your videos.
I feel like we need a where are they now segment for some of these adorable critters ❤
I think you are a Wonder Woman to get all that stuff done!
To be the man you have to beat the man . Lady your the MAN. Great job top notch.
Brilliant work! ❤️
I really enjoyed watching the shearing 👍
Literally all I think when someone or something tries to get away or something is “THAT’S MY PURSE! I DON’T KNOW YOU!”
Women always do better when someone kicks after screaming that. Good job!
Thanks for making me LOL! I love your channel.
She's inner feelings: bloody humens
You are amazing with the animals!
You guys are amazing!
So glad my horse didn't act like that the first time I had to clip off his winter coat. 😅
