For one thing it makes it easier for the lambs to find the udder:)<br />I found it really interesting the support harness thing the shearer is wearing. Looks like it is made out of western saddle cinch.<br />Shearing requires a good back, that I know. I did shear our few sheep for a few years, but it certainly took a lot longer than 2-3 minutes.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307439752726871680.post-33321905357358871462010-11-11T14:15:45.526-08:002010-11-11T14:15:45.526-08:00Very cool photos Wendy!

I think there are several theories on when it is best to shear - they all have their pros and cons so there ends up being no "right time".Paws on the Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381197653548427144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307439752726871680.post-9337406567947807952010-11-11T13:14:15.003-08:002010-11-11T13:14:15.003-08:00Very cool!!
