Shearing Sheep for Wool (Video)

It’s really cool to see real-life demonstrations of classic farm work, and shearing sheep is one of the coolest. Modern electric buzzers have certainly made this age-old practice much quicker, but it’s still pretty old-school in our fast-paced age of information.

This video shows the Austrailian method of shearing. I think the coolest thing is watching all the wool fall off in what look like big pelts and seeing the completely unrecognizable freshly shorn animal underneath! It must be nice as the weather warms up for these animals to shed all that warm wool. Enjoy!
