Shearing school

Shearing a Jakob Ewe - Showing off what I learned in the four day beginners school.

I went to school Thursday through Sunday it ran from 8 am to 5pm or later depending on how may sheep were lined up to be shorn.

Sheep were fasted 12 to 24 hours for their own safety, no sheep were harmed in the making of this video or more then a few stitches in the class.

How to shear a sheep. Start at cleaning off the belly, then moving to the Clutch then the first hip and under mind, then moving to the head and neck, top front shoulder moving down for the short blows, the long blows across the length of the body, back up to the other shoulder - Side and last hip. Then she goes out the porthole.

Cute lambs looking for their moms. What must they think when their moms had such a major hair cut. Some came out with blue spots.

The Jacob had lots of second cuts but, no cuts on the sheep.

Sheep are sheared for their own health a wellbeing, they get really hot during the summer and fell so much better after their wool is removed. They are also subject to fly strike, where a fly lays its eggs near the rear of a sheep and the maggots feed off the sheep. They could also have lice or other skin aliments.
