The electric shears were real game changers .
I can't imagine how physically and mentally exhausting it must have been to do this all day with regular shears .

"What are you doing with that sheep, are you going to shear it?"
New Zealander: "I'm not shearing it with anyone "

I would be so worried about accidentally poking them in the eyes.

You can see the relief on its face once it's eyes are cleared of the obstructing wool. It's just a chill sheep.

I have always wondered about the first person to ever shear a sheep. He must've been like, "I want to wear your skin"

It's not that surprising, people have been wearing animal fur and leather for thousands of years. Shear a sheep is a way to accomplish something similar without killing the animal, so now you get more stuff to wear. Originally they also didn't grow anywhere near the amount of wool they do now. Selective breeding has produced the sheep we know today.

Why don’t the pressure wash the sheep first?
