You have to admire an expert sheep shearer who knows exactly what he’s doing. Firm but gentle, so nobody gets excited.
I think this sheep was more anxious about her audience than she was about being sheared.
It’s amazing to me how little of the sheep’s skin/hide seems to get a pass from the clippers. It’s probably my imagination, but watching the shearer, it looks as though he knows where all the sheep’s hidden zippers are. Make a pass here, a pass there, and voila! Naked sheep. Ready to go Boundin’.
All She Wants To Do Is Knit 
My daughter had a field trip once in serving grade to a ranch up north. There were sheep and we were told the shearer only had so much time before the sheep would struggle.
What an expert. 🙂
Thanks for sharing these photos.
It does get to be an amazingly fast process. Fascinating to watch.
Great pics! Exciting to see in person 🙂 ❤ ❤
Totally. Like a barnyard ballet.
