How to shear sheep, a step by step guide. First we talk through how to shear with a live demonstration. Gentle handling, feet/leg placement and proper stroke/blows are covered.
At 10:27 we use a washable marker to illustrate the placement and length of each blow. 45-50 strokes per sheep is a standard full shear.
13:45 We finish off with another demonstration of a proper shear.
The demonstration is from a class open to sheep producers taught at the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture Sheep Research & Education Unit. For more information on the sheep unit or about upcoming classes, please visit their page:
