Sheep shearing is the process when the woolen fleece of a sheep is cut off. This is done by a professional shearer.  Sheep shearing is an annual process to keep the sheep happy and healthy. Shearing does not hurt the sheep; while not actually enjoying the process, the sheep benefit from having the fleece removed once a year. Shearing is typically done before the hot weather of summer sets in and is like removing a winter coat, it helps keep the sheep cool and comfortable. Shearing also offers health benefits and allows the shearer to trim hooves and assess the overall health of the flock.

The production of wool is the oldest trade commodity known to man. In the 16th century wool provided for 50% of the total English economy.

WHY DO FARMERS SHEAR SHEEP?

Sheep farmers shear their sheep usually once a year during the summer months when the temperatures become hot. They do this because it has great health benefits for their flock, in that shearing.

  • Prevents the buildup of manure and urine that can lead to parasitic infection and fly strike- long fleeces are likely to become dirty and drag along the ground.
  • Allows adequate wool regrowth which improves the sheep’s ability to control its body temperature during extreme heat and cold conditions.
  • Creates a clean environment for newborn lambs. Decreases the chance of heat stress. It is crucial to shear sheep annually for the sake of their health

How Is Sheep Sheared?

Sheep shearing requires much attention. It is a meticulous job and requires a certain process so as to shore the sheep perfectly without harm. So, how are the sheep sheared perfectly?

  • Sheep need to be laid on their back and their legs should be off the floor. The head of the sheep must be rested over the knees of the shearer.
  • The wool from the back leg to the tail of the sheep is removed first and then followed by shearing on the middle of the belly part.
  • Shearing stroke is done from top to bottom pushing wool away from the shearer. Sheep are rolled slowly on the side while shearing from side and back. 
  • Shearing is done in continuous motion and repeatedly starting from the back leg and moving towards the neck, head, and ear part from the stomach or chest part.
  • Shearer shear the wool being diligent and careful so as to remove the wool but also keep the wool in one place and connected. 

This process requires much attention to detail and only a professional shearer can shear the sheep perfectly without harming the animal.
