Question

how are sheep taken care of while shearing ?

Answer 1

Wool shearing practices vary in different regions. However, shearing is mostly practiced twice a year in spring and autumn seasons. Sheep are washed at least two days before shearing in order to remove dirt, suint and grease which hinder shearing. Machine shearing is more efficient than manual shearing with scissors as it saves time, avoids injury to the sheep and “second-cuts” of staples. Some producers prefer to shear pregnant ewes before lambing. If ewes cannot be completely shorn before lambing, they should be “crotched out” by shearing the wool from the udder and dock area and from the head and eyes of those breeds with wool on the face. This will make lambing and nursing easier. Shearing before breeding in summer season tends to increase the heat loss from the body and cools the ewe and ram, thus inducing estrus in the ewe and stimulating spermatogenesis in the ram.
