To any who are looking at this and getting upset… I’m here to tell you that this DOES NOT HURT THE SHEEP! I’ve worked on a sheep farm and I’ve worked with countless vets… you need to hold a sheep on its butt like that so they don’t kick and hurt themselves or you! Also, Sheep have flexible necks and this man was NOT pulling hard. I’ve seen sheep rotate their heads in insane ways by themselves to get to grain. They hold them and move them like this so that they don’t cut into the sheep’s skin. Without being shorn, sheep risk overheating and dying in hotter climates, as well as matting, buildup of feces, and rashes… these sheep would be WORSE OFF without being shorn. NOW, there are people that really do hurt and abuse sheep! These people need to be stopped. But it truly saddens me to see people going after someone who’s doing it right for once… we need people like this to care for sheep! It’s evident the shearer does care. I encourage you all to have a first-hand experience and TALK to actual vets and sheep farmers before you assume this is animal cruelty, because it really is not.
In a sense, many animals can "speak" to us besides the obvious vocalizations they make - it's called body language. The can and will wag their tails to indicate happiness. In addition, they will kick like hell and panic if they're uncomfortable or scared. They are fast too - try catching one that doesn't want you to touch them, it is NOT easy. Essentially, this sheep is not afraid - you'd know it instantly if they were.
Thanks for informing others about this!! My mum went to a farming school where she had to do this before. The sheep are fine when you do it right. It feels good to get rid of all the extra weight of their coat.
The way sheep have been bred for wool production, they no longer will naturally shed their coats so they HAVE to be sheared or the wool will grow so thick and heavy that eventually they could collapse under the weight of their own wool.
Kalah Howard depending on the sheep breed they can be very kicky or very docile, Shetland sheep for instance are very flighty and will run away if they get a chance
Sheep pizza, with added goat's cheese and a thin and crispy, sheep don't like stuffed crust. They have growing teeth you know. And they love the taste of vanilla. So an ice cream with vanilla essence, only a drop made with..goat's milk. Mainly these ladies like to eat new clean hay. And a nice cooling drink of water. I'd do a top not for them. Dad punk these ladies don't like a spiky hairdo. They can get a blue or pink rinse, then off they all go down the Bingo.😂❤
i see the guy being rather gentle to the sheep. hes not cutting her, hes gently moving her around. ive seen some videos of competition shearing where the poor sheep was bleeding...this one looks relatively calm. the second seemed to have needed a closer shearing, but the guy seemed patient
there is a difference between pure cruelty, (zero consciousness present), abuse (using war like methods like power and control) and equality (approaching something in a relaxed friendly manner to help them) I wouldn't say he was being gentle but that it was not pure cruelty. but there is still a better way through a respectful relationship that took the time to have a relationship with the sheep in order to get them to feel calm before sheering
@@thebluedot4728 When it comes to shearing sheep he was being gentle. Sheep have extremely flexible necks so it is less then painful for them to move their head into awkward angles. And lets be real here, this isn't a child or light weight box. It's an animal that isn't going to understand you saying "turn this way" or tapping on it's shoulder for it to move. It's gonna take a bit of force to move them around
Just because it bleeds doesn’t mean it’s done wrong sometimes the wool is too long and is pulling on the skin just like if you were to shave and you cut yourself it’s the same thing basically just the clippers nipping it The sheep will be fine
This was BEAUTIFUL to watch. The shearer was so gentle on the first ine. A REAL TRUE shepherd eill love and take GREAT CARE OF his sheep. They only have a sheep's best interest in mind and heart.
nothing about the way they approached that sheep sent the message that they have their best intention in their mind. They approached the sheep out of power and control, not friendship, trust or equality. They didn't even learn how to calm the sheep or make them lay down so they could help them, they just tried to capture them and control them to "do what is best for them" this is the WRONG way.
@@thebluedot4728 your so stupid lmao, lets see you gain 200 pounds of wool and try and walk, talk, see, breathe, and eat. have you seen a sheep turn its head? insane angles. power and control? thats called domestication, maybe you should be yelling at every animal owner EVER. "how to calm it down" it didnt even try and move? if it wanted to it could have bolted, yet it just sat there letting them shear it?????? how is that NOT calm? do you not know english vocabulary?
I wonder who the fuck was thinking about that? LOL, they're supposed to not use any of clothing if they think everything about animal consumption is animal abuse
the way they are doing it is the abuse. Cruelty, no. Abuse, yes. Abuse is based on power and control. Power and control uses coersion, intimidation and threat. Equality is based on a respect, trust, and partnership. The behavior towards the sheep does not show that there is trust between them.
God bless this guy. He's really gentle withe. the animals. Get an educational video on this. There's no reason to abuse any animal. Other videos show the sheep getting cuts and bleeding. I love this.
I have one as a pet. If i don't shave him down, he huffs and puffs in the summer heat even with adequate shade. If it is very bad, he wont eat. Sheep who do not have the natural brush to shed their wool in while grazing NEED to be trimmed to simulate wool removal in the wild. Please consider the health of our wooly friends. Love a sheep mama!
The people at PETA are total idiots. I'd like to take them seriously, but they keep getting into shit that just constantly makes them lose points in my eyes. How about the time when they killed dogs because they thought keeping pets is animal cruelty? They have no idea what they're talking about, these sheep are fine. Momentarily a little uncomfortable, but fine in the end. It's important to cut wool from these guys twice a year, even as north as in Sweden. It would actually be colder for them in the winter if they were only sheared in the spring.
I dont think most people realize how firm you have to be with animals especially farm animals. People who have never worked with farm animals don't realize this and think its hurting the animal. There is a line between firmness and abuse this is not abuse. For the animals safety and yours you have to be firm.
Vonn- the first sheep/lamb/ goat/ Dog alpaca/ other is allways the hardest. some folk start off dagging/ crutching/ wigging/ other butt some folk go straight into full complete shearing off the critter with or with-out any dags on the arse's. in nations like Australia you are obliged too have your own vehicles and tools or a dog or dogs too muster/yard/ sheepo the critter's. Some farms/ stations expect the shed workers too go out and muster the flocks from the paddocks/ fields/ other. All farms/ stations shearing sheds/ wool- pressers etc/ shearing competitions are both all the same butt different at the same time. in the past ahh worked for a total off 20 shearing contractors and open sheds only in new Zealand. ''The worst ever shearing contractor ahh worked for hailed from Bohemia.'' ??- ''Ahh still post him Mason Clinic address cards as he and his Mongrell wife were that fukkinn horrible from day one. He blamed me for loseing his sheds and ahh glad ahh did as he nearly killed me. The best Shearing contractor was Joseph ratima who never smoked or boozed and set a good example in and out off the sheds. N.B.- ''Keep all expectations below zero iff you get in to this life-style and ewe may get fun and joy outta itt.- haa haa haa haa ha haa ha.''
@@scribletime9388 Yeah, it does eventually, that's why some shearers use a sling while they shear. I have such happy memories of Dad pretending us kids were sheep - "shearing" us and tipping us out through his legs into the playpen :)
Monica Foster at first when your learning youre bent over for about 8 to ten muinites and it hurts, but when youve learned your technique and can shear a sheep in about two muinutes it ffine
when i was a wee lad i followed my father to NZ and had the privlage to watch ivan bowen in action near gisborne. There was an old kiwi boy by the name of Jim from the north east coast, who i could never forget. not one bead of sweat on his head, the most beautiful shearer i had and still have ever seen in my life, no matter how fast ivan would go Jim was always one behind him. yes he wasnt winning but i couldnt get over how easy and slow he made it look. There is something about you kiwi's, its like you were born for it.
They can be shorn in a stanchion. The way shown here their fleeces comes off in one piece so you can see what parts of the body the wool came from and grade and skirt it appropriately. My dog will never let me put him in this position lol! Dogs are much less limber.
The hold is part of the shearing as you need to keep the skin taught. Shearing like this is pretty stress free for them (once caught), most of mine will jump up when finished and then still be beside me looking for sheep nuts (I have a *very* small flock so all are tame)
I have a border Lester too! That is the breed of the first sheep in the video. Many sheep don’t like being sheared, so that’s why they squirm around a lot. It’s not hurting them, and the crimp (curl) on the wool is very nice! I can tell you have very well behaved and calm sheep. Good job!
Yes it does... Shearing is very important to do when u breed sheep...it keeps them healthy...having wool attracts lots of fungi which causes rashes and skin infections on the sheep's skin
Because of the amount of dislikes I take it that people think these sheep are suffering... They're not. Sheep are extremely beneficial animals to have around. Not only is their upkeep pretty ecological (and more ethical since they're much easier to care for than cows for example), and not only do they provide meat and precious wool, but they're good for the environment. Where I live sheep industry is pretty small, but they're used in grazing in areas that would otherwise be full of tall grass and other plants. Aka, areas that are very much in their natural state and where you can't/shouldn't grow crops. Sheep keeping these areas in tact has provided great areas for many birds and insects to nest and live in - maybe even saved them from extinction as it is not as common these days to have grazing pastures. Not only that but after few years of having sheep there, the areas look super cool and are nice to walk in. Some people always see keeping animals as a bad thing. I think those people should think about things in a broader perspective. These sheep are fine. They aren't worried about tomorrow. They have everything they need and they're warm, dry and well fed. They live in large social groups just as they would in the nature. And they probably get to graze outside during summer, all while being safe from predators. Now not everywhere in the world can sheep live as happily, but I'd say things are pretty well in Sweden. I would not buy wool from New Zealand however. Mostly because it's on the other side of the planet where I live in, but also because I've seen the sheep there being treated not as well. If you want to help the planet, act and buy locally.
I have a super thick head of hair and usually let it grow to like 4-5 inches. In the summer when its hot I'll buzz it off down to an 8th of an inch. The lack of weight plus the fresh, cool air on my scalp is a very pleasant and comfortable experience. As a fellow hairy mammal, I can definitely say that having this done over their entire body, there's no way its a not a super refreshing and relieving experience for them.
This video sure is better than the one where Shrek the sheep got sheared. These guys were way more gentle and slow on the skin, there was no rush. But it was painful watching Shrek get sheared so forcefully and rushed until he had huge open wounds, now I understand why he ran away. For a sheep that acquired so much wool over 6 years I get it that it’s hard to trim because the matts pull at the skin painfully but that’s when you have to go slow and carefully not rush through it. I used to cut matts carefully strand by strand with my late rabbits but of course which person working in a farm has that time for the animal? The sheep here have minimal stress I would expect because they were talking (so it doesn’t have to focus too much on the shaver sound) and they were calm and slow, animals sense how a person handles them.
also ther arent hurting the sheep as it makes the sheep feel relax in summer seasons and when the winter comes the wool grows again so mad people who think it a animal abuse its for them also it never pains its as simple as wee get a haircut i know this because i study science and i am in 7 th class thank you
I'm sure this doesn't hurt the sheep but people are probably annoyed because he's a little rough with his hands...but that's the price of mass consumption. You just can't get work done quickly enough if you don't do it that way and try and be gentle with every single sheep.
I'm surprised the tails were kept long. Most farmers dock the tails when the lambs are still pretty young to help prevent all that filth that builds up in the wool around the anus. Too much filth attracts flies, they lay their eggs in the dirty wool. When the maggots hatch, they end up eating the flesh of the sheep making nasty infected sores. It can be very hard to cure and if not, or too late, the sheep can die from the infection.
This will probably be for religious reasons, the sheep will be kept for halal meat. Most sheep are tailed for preventing fly strike, but it isn't compulsory, it depends on where they are and the country. Listening to the language being spoken, this isn't an english speaking video.
I think they r short anyways but I mean its still pretty cruel its up to the farmer to keep the sheep from getting infections its their jobs so why do the poor lambs pay the price for laziness
let me tell u it doesnt hurts the sheep its just like when we get a haircut from the machine its reallty simple i dont work there but as i am in 7 th class and i study science thats why i know
Bro fr its like getting a haircut and its the best thing for a sheep when it gets to summer cuz they would over heat coming from a sheep farmer myself its not cruel at all
Interesting that pretty much every video on UA-cam like this has some expert saying they are doing it wrong. Apparently there is only one was to shear sheep; My way.

Kalah Howard Usually as adults they get used to it. During the summer time, a lot of them love it. It gets really hot and dirty in there.
It's the sheep sitting technique, stops them from bucking.
after you get a grip, they just give up struggling
Kalah Howard they get used to it because they understand it’s helping them, also farm animals are docile
Kalah Howard depending on the sheep breed they can be very kicky or very docile, Shetland sheep for instance are very flighty and will run away if they get a chance

Not only is their upkeep pretty ecological (and more ethical since they're much easier to care for than cows for example), and not only do they provide meat and precious wool, but they're good for the environment. Where I live sheep industry is pretty small, but they're used in grazing in areas that would otherwise be full of tall grass and other plants. Aka, areas that are very much in their natural state and where you can't/shouldn't grow crops. Sheep keeping these areas in tact has provided great areas for many birds and insects to nest and live in - maybe even saved them from extinction as it is not as common these days to have grazing pastures. Not only that but after few years of having sheep there, the areas look super cool and are nice to walk in.
Some people always see keeping animals as a bad thing. I think those people should think about things in a broader perspective. These sheep are fine. They aren't worried about tomorrow. They have everything they need and they're warm, dry and well fed. They live in large social groups just as they would in the nature. And they probably get to graze outside during summer, all while being safe from predators. Now not everywhere in the world can sheep live as happily, but I'd say things are pretty well in Sweden. I would not buy wool from New Zealand however. Mostly because it's on the other side of the planet where I live in, but also because I've seen the sheep there being treated not as well. If you want to help the planet, act and buy locally.
0:06 he kisses the sheep b4 shearing ? So cute !
I have a super thick head of hair and usually let it grow to like 4-5 inches. In the summer when its hot I'll buzz it off down to an 8th of an inch. The lack of weight plus the fresh, cool air on my scalp is a very pleasant and comfortable experience. As a fellow hairy mammal, I can definitely say that having this done over their entire body, there's no way its a not a super refreshing and relieving experience for them.
Why so many dislikes?
If you don't shear the sheep, they will be uncomfortable and eventually die.
Great job guys!! Extra special care to private areas nice going!!
it's 11pm, i have a accounting test tomorrow at 9am, i have studied exactly 7 minutes for it, and i'm watching this. Why?
because it's satisfying?
because it Baaa
Hey.... You....
Did ya pass?

Everybody talking bout how it’s animal abuse then there’s me that thinks “that sheep looks comfortable”
This is how I shave my "little bush downstairs".
You grab it and throw it to the ground
I actually searched for this. But no one will believe me
The sheeps just kinda like: "huh so now im laying down, oh wow what a nice breeze along with a weird tickle,"
When you get so bored in quarantine so you resort to satisfying sheep shearing😂😂
Dislikes by Peta gang

This video sure is better than the one where Shrek the sheep got sheared. These guys were way more gentle and slow on the skin, there was no rush. But it was painful watching Shrek get sheared so forcefully and rushed until he had huge open wounds, now I understand why he ran away. For a sheep that acquired so much wool over 6 years I get it that it’s hard to trim because the matts pull at the skin painfully but that’s when you have to go slow and carefully not rush through it. I used to cut matts carefully strand by strand with my late rabbits but of course which person working in a farm has that time for the animal? The sheep here have minimal stress I would expect because they were talking (so it doesn’t have to focus too much on the shaver sound) and they were calm and slow, animals sense how a person handles them.
Why am I watching sheep shearing? Is this really my life now?
Lindi Rufus I’m here to watch after a stupid peta post to double check that sheering is good for the sheep
My best childhood cartoon shaun the sheep comes in mind while watching
also ther arent hurting the sheep as it makes the sheep feel relax in summer seasons and when the winter comes the wool grows again so mad people who think it a animal abuse its for them also it never pains its as simple as wee get a haircut i know this because i study science and i am in 7 th class thank you
The other sheep later: I like your cut G 😂
Efficient and in spite of the upheaval, it has to feel so much better for the sheep.
I'm sure this doesn't hurt the sheep but people are probably annoyed because he's a little rough with his hands...but that's the price of mass consumption. You just can't get work done quickly enough if you don't do it that way and try and be gentle with every single sheep.
This sheep is so chill
9:35 “what do you guys think?”
- “Yeah bro, looks good.”
- “Awesome, love the new you!”
😂😂
The inside of the wool looks so soft and fluffy 😃
Is it just me or, shaving sheeps are satisfying
Did he give the lamb a kiss before sheering it?
ur on the right track. It is not being done in love.
Silence Dogood

I love how they sit them like humans it's so cute
Fun to see someone I know in the video :D
Kul att se nån jag känner på video!
This is AWESOME!! And also funny because I shave my persian kitties into a lion cut lol
I could spend a day watching a sheep being sheared 😂😂
erugh, imagine all the dirt around the tail. It’s kinda satisfying seeing how clean it is when they shave it off.
I'm surprised the tails were kept long. Most farmers dock the tails when the lambs are still pretty young to help prevent all that filth that builds up in the wool around the anus. Too much filth attracts flies, they lay their eggs in the dirty wool. When the maggots hatch, they end up eating the flesh of the sheep making nasty infected sores. It can be very hard to cure and if not, or too late, the sheep can die from the infection.
I don't think you will find any sheep here in Sweden without the tail. No one does that.
It's probably most for New Zeeland and Australia.
always wondered why they docked the tails. thanks for the info

This will probably be for religious reasons, the sheep will be kept for halal meat. Most sheep are tailed for preventing fly strike, but it isn't compulsory, it depends on where they are and the country. Listening to the language being spoken, this isn't an english speaking video.
I think they r short anyways but I mean its still pretty cruel its up to the farmer to keep the sheep from getting infections its their jobs so why do the poor lambs pay the price for laziness
These sheeps behaved better than a 9 year old in a barber shop
oh my god brittney whose's your hairdress ? looking fresh
It’s so satisfying to watch.
Wool my favorite fabric... thank you sheep.
All this time i imagine the sheep is screaming " MY BEAUTIFUL COAT!!!"
My mans really did give him a nice fade doe
On God
The sheep must have felt much better after getting that off
It looks fun tbh
No hate
It's satisfying to watch and more satisfying to do... Everyone needs to give this a try once in their life
Don't worry. The only people who can get something hateful out of this are PETA zealots.
Sheep do be looking fresh with that new look
Wait this is not Minecraft
SO satisfying to watch !
let me tell u it doesnt hurts the sheep its just like when we get a haircut from the machine its reallty simple i dont work there but as i am in 7 th class and i study science thats why i know
The sheep must feel light as feathers after all that heavy wool is sheared! 🐑
Looks so fluffy
I love your video sheep's looks happy after you clean them!
Am I insensitive or is it really so satisfying to watch?
It doesnt hurt the sheep you are not insensitive
Bro fr its like getting a haircut and its the best thing for a sheep when it gets to summer cuz they would over heat coming from a sheep farmer myself its not cruel at all
Wow I've only seen the first one but it was done so well, not a single Nick or scrape from what I saw, bravo
Interesting that pretty much every video on UA-cam like this has some expert saying they are doing it wrong. Apparently there is only one was to shear sheep; My way.
Sadly, I'm reminded of that Family Guy short with that sheep who really, REALLY liked being shorn.
