    Thank you all for your guesses! It was so much fun to have every one involved and take the time to read all of your amazingly kind comments in the middle of season!
    Our first place guess is @tammibaker with 7.92!
    And second place is @tracybarger7822. With 7.85lbs!
    There were so many close guesses but no ties! Super excited to get these fleeces cleaned and to you guys!🎉

    What a neat experience getting to feel the lamb react to the sheering. I bet that doesn't happen all the time since you reacted so excited!

      It’s also good to have them sheared before the lambs arrive, since sometimes the lamb can latch on to a tag of wool and it looks like they’re eating but they’re not getting any nutrition. They can go down really fast if that happens.

    Wow what a large "lambs fleece" 8 plus pounds. Loved watching this video and how you were excited and showed us the movement from the baby. Wondering how close to lambing she is, with that huge udder. She seems like a very mellow lady.

    • @Gimpygladiator
      @Gimpygladiator Рік тому +6

      As I've learned from @SheepishlyMe ... that udder "bloom" means she's within a few days of delivering. And that spa treatment might make it easy to maneuver for the birth (not to mention a hot summer with a little one attached)!

    So sweet!! Lamb is feeling the "tickle" of the vibration from the shears! Reminds me of when I was about 7 months pregnant with my 1st son.... we went to an airshow and I was standing right in front of a Harrier as it was lifting off... the vibrations were really strong and suddenly my son started kicking like crazy!! I showed Hubby and the people around me noticed and I ended up with a whole group of people laughing and watching as my stomach went bonkers!!! BTW---he turned out to be an awesome soccer player!!!

      Sometimes, for sure! It depends on how close they are to popping. The ideal time for everyone is 60 days out. But there are only so many shearers and a lot of the same lambing dates 🫠 the closer they get, the larger the challeneg

    Can u keep the fleece whole without killing the sheep?
    I'm not sure how to phrase it. I'm assuming to have a fleece blanket is to skin it. Is there a way to make a fleece coat or sweater w the long wool, b so it looks like your wearing a fleece?
    My heart grandpa had a coat that he wore leather size out & wool on inside. Wear it cold Utah winters when he b horseback taking care of cattle. I mainly remember Grandad laying me on top of the fleece & wrapping it around me. Put me to sleep every time.

    • @rightchoiceshearing
      @rightchoiceshearing  Рік тому +4

      The fleece comes off with out killing the animal, a pelt would be the skin (leather) and the fleece. That would entail the end of the animals life. Wool harvest doesn’t involve harvesting the animal as well 🤘🏻

    0:30 ngl that looked so rough and I felt some concern over the sheep.
    But unlike some people, I have the situational awareness to see that the sheep was completely calm and didn't look distressed at all, so it clearly didn't hurt as much as it looked like it should to me. Animals usually let their dissatisfaction be known and you clearly know what you're doing.
    I just see how people's empathy can get hijacked with clips like that.
