Here is a photo I received from Debra Haden of a hand-sheering demonstration by Sharon White, at the 2006 Taos Wool Festival. I am certainly not this good at it. I cheat! I put my sheep in my goat stand and stand them up while sheering them. My back just won’t take bending for that long of a period of time. I do use the old fashioned type hand sheers. I may have statd this before, but I purchased… at a very expensive price tag.. an electric sheer. It is noisy, heavy, and it cut my poor sheep’s skin terribly! Never again. I love my babies too much to put them thru that. Any one want to buy it?
