Shearing a sheep in 60 seconds

TICK MOPS

This estate in the Scottish Borders has 3500 sheep that are used to pick up ticks on the hills to reduce the burden on the Grouse and other game birds.

They are treated regularly to kill off the ticks that they gather up whilst grazing.

This was me shearing sheep 339 for the day and as you can see they were absolute peelers 😁

For anyone wondering why he has to do it so fast and "agressive", there is an actual reason. sheeps heat up (get very hot/heated) so fast when they are under stress or a certain position and it can get rlly dangerous for the animal. So this man actually knows what he's doing. Hes gotta be fast for the animal's safety.

Edit: i never said he had to be agressive, just fast.

😂 I love at the end how the sheep jogs down the little ramp with his fresh cut and just strolls away looking around, like “where the ladies at?”

This guy is a professional. No stress to the sheep, no nicks to the skin, very clean shear.

Just had a quick read through the comments, and it amazes me how people feel the need to post stuff about how he's being aggressive, poor sheep, blah blah blah, from people who have absolutely no idea what their on about. I've been around sheep and shearing sheds for 40 years plus.
I wouldn't hesitate to get these guys to shear my sheep. He's not being aggressive at all. When he drops the slide to grab her, they get a fright and always try to move away from you, so a little man handling is necessary.
The set up is on a trailer ( you can see one of the wheels) so these guys are contract shearers. They get paid per head not by the hour. Sheep don't like sitting like that all their internal organs weigh down and if you're very slow shearing they struggle to breath causing them to kick, bite and do their best to puncture any part of you with their horns . Notice how he keeps the ewe moving, and he's constantly adjusting his hold and his feet positions.
This takes ALOT of practice. He's shorn tens of thousands of sheep believe me. His technique is called Bowen style, and its about as good a job as you'll ever see a shearer do.
I used to be able to do around 150 a day.
After the first day of the new season, I could hardly stand up straight. After 2 or 3 days, you're sweet to go.
It's hard work alright.
