    Thanks for shearing the sheep on that stand,,
    I did think it would be good for hobby sheep holders so they could shear themselves and I’d say easy on the back ❤
    Thanks again for showing it

      I think hobby sheep holders have a problem getting shearers to call for small numbers ..

    I think this is a great idea. Backs get so much work in traditional sheering.

    You have a really nice invention. As anyone who gets older knows, stooping down gets harder and harder. Have you thought of putting some big diameter wheels on making it easier to move around?

    • @sheepschool365
      @sheepschool365  6 місяців тому

      Thank you 👍.
      I assumed most of the work would be around shed or yard so I put smaller diameter wheels to make it a little more compact. Maybe something I could fit if somebody asks...👌

    Wonderful video. Super shearing job. I just thought about shearing standing up, and wow in 5mins I found you. I'm in Australia which makes things tough. How much to ship a sheep headstock to Leongatha, Australia, please? Any chance you could just ship the headstock only (I could find a square section etc here). Douglas ps My Irish ancestors (not related/ married to each other) arrived in Sydney in 1830 (gggm MaryAnn Maguire from Dublin & gggrandfather John Lawrence Quinn from Dundalk).

  • @craigpacker7171
    @craigpacker7171 6 місяців тому

    Very good job, David. Just one tip: If you have the sheep's head fully extended (raise the headlock just a little in her case), it will help stretch out the skin and reduce the opportunity for nicks on the neck and chest. But you did great!

      Thank you Craig, I did find the crinkles on the neck a bit more challenging...

      @craigpacker7171 6 місяців тому

      @@sheepschool365 It can be even more challenging with a ewe that drying up. But she was in really good condition. It's difficult to ALWAYS keep the skin as tight as it needs to be--even with a ewe in good condition.

      Exactly why I decided to make them 👌 An older neighbour with a bad back really struggles to do anything with his sheep especially prolapse problems so I made one for him..
