You are such a kind soul. My regular shearer was busy, so I contacted a company in Ohio. The guy was so rude to me and my sheep. He blasted crude music, smoked inside the barn, and jerked my sheep around. He kept saying how unhealthy my Hampshire cross sheep were, I was on the verge of tears because I treat my sheep like they are my childen. He quit after 7 1/4 sheep. Yep, he walked out with one sheep only 1/4 of the way finished. There were still 30 to go. As it turns out, he found another job that day with Merino wool sheep. I called my vet in tears asking if she thought my sheep were unhealthy. She said that I have the healthiest sheep in the county and she knows how loved they are.
Can you report that kind of stuff. That's like having your yard guy, roofer, farrier quit half way through to do a yard, roof, horses, he thinks are better, WTH! Something ethically wrong with that. Breach of contract to me.
So sorry that you ended up with that shearer. Your sheep are healthy and the creep didn't know what he's talking about. I hope you found someone to finish the shearing. Who leaves a sheep only 1/4 done!?
@@endeeray4295 all you can really do is make reviews on sites that his business is listed on. Word of mouth is a big thing in small farming, communities.
What an ass. I’m really sorry you had to deal with that. I would be posting reviews everywhere I could and even make a few fliers to put up in your Co-op, feed store and even your vet office.
Thank you for being sympathetic, and non judgemental with the owner, and for making the sheep feel better, you are awesome, you made life a little better for the owner to make have a fresh start, and be able to keep his sheep back on a shearing schedule
I know the poor little sheep 🐑 must feel like he just had a load of his back. The shearer must be strong and as tough as nails but gentle also. I got tired watching this being done. Great video. Baaaaaaa
@@susannesteinbock1639i think the concept is probably more like the more ppl think they are going to be judged the less likely they will get their animals help bc they will be busy trying to avoid judgement which is why ppl are encouraging her not to be judgmental which she isnt. Idk if it actually works but i think thats the thought process.
@@hopewelch2915 no. the time and effort involved in untangling fleece thats already felted into matting this severe, would make it financially pointless to even try. Sadly the only place that fleece is likely to go is in the rubbish
Oh Katie. I've watched you shear many sheep and llamas but have never seen you look so exhausted after ONE sheep. The thought that you had many more to go just makes me want to cry....especially given how the previous days were also long and hard. Hope you had a day off after this. God Bless.
I'll bet this is in Texas, the heat and humidity combo will suck the life right out of you, and that's just going for a walk, never mind trying to shear a super matted sheep.
Thank you for not only helping these animals but also staying respectful about the owners. I can emagine you had some internal thoughts about the state these animals were in
I can't imaging being in that position and having the sheep wait that long to be shorn. Losing your home and members of your family make livestock maintenance very difficult. Kudos to you for tackling/navigating such a difficult situation and doing right by the people and the sheep. ❤
@@susannesteinbock1639no it was their fault. I get things happen but one of those things shouldn't be allowing your animals who depend on you to get neglected to this extent. Would it have been ok if it was a baby they let get sores and matted hair because "life was hard?" You don't get to have things happen when helpless living things depend on you. Get shit done or get them gone but don't let them wallow
Given the tribulations the owners had, it's not a surprise that the fleece got out of control. Thank goodness you were able to relieve that poor guy of his shell. I'm sure the owners were grateful, too.
Those poor owners. I’m glad to hear are getting back on their feet and can have animals taken care of beyond the basics of food & water. 🙏🏽 this is a better year. 🙏🏽
I believe that the sheep can sense that you are there to help them. You truly are amazing. It takes a special kind of person to fight for overgrown sheep in the Texas heat. It was 108 degrees yesterday. You rescue the owners as well as the sheep. Your shearing this sheep was a work of art.
Thank you for sharing the owner's story along with your shearing. I am sure that you brought so much relief to all of the sheep...and the owners too. ❤
Oh Katie your face when you finished this poor boy! It says you're tired, your muscles hurt, you're hot and your heart is aching for that poor sheep. You have such live and concern for the animals you shear. I think you are one of God's earth angels to literally care for His animal flock. Blessings to you and your wife. Thank you for your loving care of the animals. Stay safe.❤😊🙏🏻
Awww Honey, oh Gods! You look in pain, and shock, and EXHAUSTED at the end there. The look on you saying "Did we really just survive THAT? Is it REALLY OVER?!? OH... oh sh*t, that's right - there's MORE 😢" I want SO BADLY to reach through the screen and give you support!!!!!!! You are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for understanding about the struggles the family has been through. Crap happens to everybody...At least they kept their animals instead of sending them to slaughter. I can't imagine how good that felt for the sheep to get rid of all that....
Poor babies, I bet they loved having all of that wool removed and didn’t mind a few little nicks. I think the owners are also very great full for the work you both have done for their animals.
It's a pleasure to watch someone who cares about the sheep's physical comfort, especially when faced with a daunting mass of obstinate wool. Those owners struck gold when they found you, Katie! Well done! 👏👏👏💪💕
You two looked exhausted after that shearing. That mat was a beast, but you were able to take care of it and give that sheep the care it needed. Bravo!
I'm so glad you gave grace to this family. Yes, some people don't take care of their animals, but some people, like this family, are between a rock and a hard place. I'm so glad they found you ❤ shear on 🤘
Well done, you deserve a medal. That wasn’t a sprint that was an endurance run without a map. Poor sheeps. Having to lug that around, especially in summer heat. Honestly I’m in awe of the skill it took to get through that without any major nicks… and also they you had the strength to lift the mat afterward. I’d have collapsed for at least 5 mins before I tried to do anything else
This is the first time watching you shear and overgrown animal that brought me to tears. Just the relief that poor soul must have felt. I feel bad for the owners too. It had to be heart wrenching to watch this happen and not be able to get anyone to come shear them. I've been close to that situation with my horses where there just wasn't a vet anywhere near us and then for awhile it was almost impossible to find a farrier. These services are very short in many areas as fewer people are interested in taking up these careers, but they are so critical! Thank you for what you do and how well you do it!
Live can be tough, as much as we hate it sometimes people have to come first! But it is wonderful that you are taking care of these sheep and displaying kindness towards the owners. We don’t know what has happened, it is in the past, we can only strive to do better. Y’all are wonderful!
You are a bad ass!!! That can't be easy work, but in our Texas summers, it's just brutal! What a rewarding profession you & your wife have chose to do. Thank you.
You have such a beautiful soul. The compassion in your eyes is clear, both for the poor sheep and the owners who fell on hard times. I bet they’re glad their flock is now in your very capable hands and you don’t plan to retire any time soon💪
Katie, you did a fantastic job freeing that young fella from those dense heavy mats. You are always so kind and gentle, not only to the animals under your shears, you’re considerate of their owners as well. What you do is a very specialised skill these days , and not everyone can do it. To be honest, I’d love one learn, but maybe a woman in her sixties , it’s not an ideal job…but, I’d still love to learn. If I get the chance, I’d love to learn from someone like you.
Not sure why this came up on my recommended videos… but this individual is definitely very skilled and efficient. There was a degree of entertainment and a feeling of relief as the job concluded. Wow great work!
Never seen anything like that, what a mess that boy was in. He was so happy and quiet during the operation. So much skill and strength needed. Awesome.
Bless you and your wife. You are being the most kind people I came across. So much knowledge means so much understanding. It’s clear to see how much you care and equally how much you love what you do. I am very happy to know you exist in this world. I love you both so much, and don’t even know you. Bless you, bless your families ❤️🥰🙏🙌👏😘🙌🥰❤️🙏
Oh that poor gentle animal…he has such beautiful eyes. Thank you for helping him as gently and kindly as you possibly could. I can’t imagine how difficult that must be when the temperatures are high. I bet he feels so much better. 💚💚💚
What a powerhouse you are!! To push through, all the sweat, strains, aches, and stress of preventing stress on these sheep, you deserve Best Sheerer Awards!! Well done!! The relief these babies must feel!!!
WOW...I'm almost speechless! All I can say is bless your kind heart and expertise in shearing sheep, Katie. Kudos to you and Darien. And, remember to stay hydrated while working in the hot days that we've experienced this summer! ❤🐏❤
Been waiting for this one. Love what you do and I love your kindness! ❤❤❤❤❤ And don’t beat yourself up over the knicks, you’re saving their lives! It’s a beautiful thing!!! 😊
Wow as someone who lives in FL I am almost sweating with you watching you in that heat! That must be brutal, I can imagine all the wool bits sticking to your sweat too but this guy must be feeling so much relief after you are done! So much weight off as well as so much cooler! Thank you for doing this for them.
I know you hear this a thousand times a day BUT I love you and your girlfriend so much! I know this is hard, sweaty backbreaking work! Thank you for what you do for these animals!! Sending you much love, peace and blessings! ♥️✌🏼🙏🏼
@@thehectichawaiian7344 lol idk why you had to have an attitude about being politely corrected. They didn’t say you made a colossal mistake, they simply pointed out she’s her wife, not her girlfriend.

Oh no,what a difficult situation! I was prepared to be angry with the owners,but after hearing the circumstances that led to the matting,I feel much more sympathetic,and I applaud you for your understanding and all the effort you had to put in to give the poor sheep the relief they needed so desperately.
Thanku Katie for the care & compation you show with each Terribly Over Matted &Felted Neglected Sheep Person... Hes Truely Lucky to have You Sheering him. Poor baby.. Youre the Best. Its Always Obvous How Much You Care For Each & Every One You Touch... Love 🐏 🐑 🦄♥️
Thank you (and your epic wife) for everything you have done for this group of sheep. They have to feel so much better, above and beyond "night and day" Thank you for choosing and emphasizing the need for compassion and understanding. Take care of yourself, you looked (understandably, from what you said, you've been very busy) exhausted. Stay epic!!
At one point I had to look away, and then, come back, because it all was so torturous for both you and the sheep. Excellent job. You are exceptional! 😊
Katie, I would have honestly been sobbing by the end of just one of these sheep. It’s mind boggling that you’re able to do what you do, AND manage to keep a cool head. You are absolutely the right woman for the job. Amazing.
Тяжелый, но такой необходимый труд. Видно, что овца, в конце, расслабилась, когда весь этот войлок перестал ей тянуть и обжимать. Респект и уважение, Кэти!❤ Я сама груммер, стригу собак и кошек, иногда такие запущенные экземпляры попадаются, что хоть плачь! Это или подобранные с улицы животные, или когда владельцы уезжают в отпуск и оставляют, на несколько месяцев, своих животных в недобросовестных руках. Помню персидского черного кота, которого четыре часа выстригала из вкатавшегося в самую шкуру войлока - пол года его никто не чесал. Из бедного кота моль летела, свила там гнездо. И помню пьяные, от избавления, глаза этого кота, когда хозяйка его чесала по шкурке щетинной щеткой. Такие случаи встречаются у меня редко, два-три в год максимум, но навсегда остаются в сердце. Здоровья вам и счастья!❤
I really see now why Cammy keeps a hand over the pizzle when he's shearing fast. When there is a rhythm, it would be easy to forget it was a wether and not a ewe. Such an an amazing accomplishment to rescue that boy from his cocoon of matted fiber. I hope the family's life becomes more settled so they can enjoy life and such beautiful sheep with less stress for everyone.
Thank you for rescueing the sheep that have been matted in their lives. They have to feel the relief as the owners do. Care for the sheep and owners. Take care ❤
Wow, you went above and beyond! You stuck with it and didn't give up, that's awesome on your part! I commend you on how well a job you done. You are so good at what you do and you do it all with the ultimate care of the sheep in mind. You deserve a metal and a trophy for that one! 🐑👏🏻👍🏻🏅🏆
You're very talented at shearing. You did a great job removing that matted shell. Love you videos. They're very interested. I lived on a farm and we had sheep. So I enjoy watching you shear. Peace from WV

It wasnt the owners´fault, so why should she be judgemental?
I was thinking exactly the same thing. She so kind, you just never know what people are going through.
Bless yall and the sheep also, someone needs to be holding up the weight of the wool. That would have to help you and the sheep also

Katie, there's no other way to say this... Damn girl, you're a BEAST!!!
I second that. "BEAST"
Is the wool usable when it is matted like this?
@@hopewelch2915 no. the time and effort involved in untangling fleece thats already felted into matting this severe, would make it financially pointless to even try. Sadly the only place that fleece is likely to go is in the rubbish

Could it be used for building insulation?
Imagine the relief the sheep feel after they are free

The owner should be fined for letting these animals go in this condition 😢 😮 . !
I am always blown away by the compassion you and your wife show, not only for the animals but also for the owners as well. Y'all are just amazing!
Yes, she is the very best!
This is a great and phenomenal team.🤟😀💜
Thank you for not only helping these animals but also staying respectful about the owners. I can emagine you had some internal thoughts about the state these animals were in
True that, but in all honesty I’d say nice things on UA-cam, but they should look for different owners for these sheep. 😢
But it wasn´t the owner´s fault, and she knew it and she explained it.

What can I say, you said it all. Sometimes life gets messy but hopefully now on track with your expert help. Well done x❤
I'm stunned. I'm glad the owners found you. These poor things are an amazing mess, calmed by the team's expertise.
With what you faced, you are the most patient person I’ve seen. God bless you for your nonjudgmental attitude.

I don't think I've ever seen you so wiped out after a shear. Way to push through. 👏
My heart was breaking for both you and that poor sheep. God bless you.
Thankfully, he got you rather than someone who doesn't care. I'm sure these sheep feel the love, even though it's uncomfortable for you both.

I absolutely think that sheep is much much happier with a couple nicks rather than having a 19 pound mat. You are so talented, patient and kind
Been waiting for this one. Love what you do and I love your kindness! ❤❤❤❤❤ And don’t beat yourself up over the knicks, you’re saving their lives! It’s a beautiful thing!!! 😊

That wool looks more like tree bark. Dang! Woman, you're a wonder of determination!
Woah. I don't think I've ever seen you look exhausted before! That was one mighty shave.

Thank you (and your epic wife) for everything you have done for this group of sheep. They have to feel so much better, above and beyond "night and day"
Thank you for choosing and emphasizing the need for compassion and understanding.
Take care of yourself, you looked (understandably, from what you said, you've been very busy) exhausted. Stay epic!!
At one point I had to look away, and then, come back, because it all was so torturous for both you and the sheep. Excellent job. You are exceptional! 😊
Katie, I would have honestly been sobbing by the end of just one of these sheep. It’s mind boggling that you’re able to do what you do, AND manage to keep a cool head. You are absolutely the right woman for the job. Amazing.
Тяжелый, но такой необходимый труд. Видно, что овца, в конце, расслабилась, когда весь этот войлок перестал ей тянуть и обжимать. Респект и уважение, Кэти!❤
Я сама груммер, стригу собак и кошек, иногда такие запущенные экземпляры попадаются, что хоть плачь! Это или подобранные с улицы животные, или когда владельцы уезжают в отпуск и оставляют, на несколько месяцев, своих животных в недобросовестных руках.
Помню персидского черного кота, которого четыре часа выстригала из вкатавшегося в самую шкуру войлока - пол года его никто не чесал. Из бедного кота моль летела, свила там гнездо. И помню пьяные, от избавления, глаза этого кота, когда хозяйка его чесала по шкурке щетинной щеткой.
Такие случаи встречаются у меня редко, два-три в год максимум, но навсегда остаются в сердце.
Здоровья вам и счастья!❤

That looked brutal but I'm glad you ladies do what you do. Keep shearing safe. Love your channel 😎🏳️🌈✌🏽💞
Thanks for your kindness. Blessings from Michigan.
I really see now why Cammy keeps a hand over the pizzle when he's shearing fast. When there is a rhythm, it would be easy to forget it was a wether and not a ewe. Such an an amazing accomplishment to rescue that boy from his cocoon of matted fiber. I hope the family's life becomes more settled so they can enjoy life and such beautiful sheep with less stress for everyone.
You both do amazing work! 😀
Thank you for rescueing the sheep that have been matted in their lives. They have to feel the relief as the owners do.
Care for the sheep and owners. Take care
❤
Do you ever have 2 ppl working in 1 animal at the same time? Poor boy…it looks like he knew he was being helped. Bless you❤❤
Wow, you went above and beyond! You stuck with it and didn't give up, that's awesome on your part! I commend you on how well a job you done. You are so good at what you do and you do it all with the ultimate care of the sheep in mind. You deserve a metal and a trophy for that one!
🐑👏🏻👍🏻🏅🏆
You're very talented at shearing. You did a great job removing that matted shell. Love you videos. They're very interested. I lived on a farm and we had sheep. So I enjoy watching you shear. Peace from WV
He was such a good boy while you were shearing him.
Thank you for sharing your experiences Katie and Darien.
Wow, not only do you have the knowledge to help but the elbow grease and stamina to boot, great job
Thank you. You work so very very hard! Those sheep must feel so much better after you see them.
