    Its gonna get easier, just never lose your compassion for these beautiful wooly creatures. They NEED you to make their lives manageable. You are providing a very good and kind service to these little sheepies. You did a great job on those wooly mammoths! Congrats!

    I have been there and done that - the pattern gets chucked out the window and every step is a modification. Most people don't realize that the weight of that wool as it hangs downward raises the skin which will be cut if you don't go slow and deliberate. You did a great job getting through it with a minimum of cuts.

    I wanted to jump through the screen when you shored the first really woolly ewe, you did great considering the long time since they were shorn last. I was backpacking in Australia and stayed at a sheep farm for some time, tried shearing too. I don’t live on the country side so I only keep angora rabbits - their wool is 9 times warmer than sheep wool and they need to be shorn much more often, every 90 days. Good luck with your continued sheep sheering career!! Best wishes from Sweden 🇸🇪

    kinda wish some of the people ambling around in the background would help you support them a little! Obviously not the little kids but I feel like it'd be a lot easier to reduce the amount of nicks ect with just even 1 extra hand to hold the skin ect. Note:: I know not nicking extremely neglected sheep at all is nearly impossible, and considering he was working alone he did a FANTASTIC job, but still!

    First video of yours that I’ve seen & instantly subscribed bc of your extremely calm nature. You did an amazing job & what a job to take for your first solo shearing!! My only critique would be to slow down the sped up shearing just a touch as at that speed with all the movement can be a bit disorienting & nauseating. But hopefully since this video is 1yr old you already worked that out for later videos. Also…with such massive overgrown sheep…would it be better/easier to just lay them on their side(if they will tolerate/behave)to get at least one side of the body off? I’ve seen other shearers do that or shear that part with the sheep standing up. Just a thought as it would certainly help save your back & shoulders in such cases. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Amazing work fighting both their size & enormous fleece to still put them in traditional positioning to shear though!

    • @FamousSheep
      @FamousSheep  2 роки тому +1

      Some good advice, at the time i was pretty inexperienced, i probably should of layed some of them down. Since the completion of this job I've shorn about 15k sheep since. So I've gotten alot better
