Blade Shearing for Competition Practice

I heard the lambs at the Reefton show might be quite big this weekend so I thought I better get some practice in before I head south. This is one of four big boys that escaped into the gorse as lambs last year and this is their first time ever being shorn at 18months old and around 90kg. You can also hear the rain pouring down on the roof as I shear. It's a nice relief to have a cooler day after some hot, humid days the last couple of weeks. #shearing #bladeshearing #wool #sheep #sheepshearing #shearingshed #animalwelfare #naturalfibers #satisfying #asmr #shearingiscaring #bigsheep
