@@Sara-ej8mk so can anything. But there’s people out there who legitimately think shearing is an act of cruelty even when done correctly. I think that’s what they’re referring to.
The care you put into shearing the animals is remarkable. I can't imagine carrying around 23 pounds of clothes and excrement all the time. Great job Katie.
What a great tempered sheep! She handled that as if she was receiving a spa treatment! I was not expecting her to be so relaxed, and then to just hang out afterwards as if she didn't have a care in the world! Great job as always, and thanks again for sharing your world with those of us who wouldn't have a chance to see it otherwise.
Former FFA sheep means she was handled a lot as a lamb. Once they learn something, sheep remember forever. If what they learned was good, that's a handy trait--if what they learned was bad, ugh, it's a problem for the rest of their lives.
@@djw8591 Future Farmers of America. It's an organisation in the US for young people to encourage their interest in livestock and to help them learn about good husbandry. They have show competitions, so the livestock are handled extensively to be groomed and trained to be led about, exposed to new environments, lots of strange humans, etc, which usually means that sheep end up super easy for shearers to handle.
@@djw8591 FFA is a youth agriculture club called Future Farmers of America. Often times FFA clubs will have animals that the young people tend to learn about farming and animal husbandry. Because many students tend the animals, the animals are often used to much human handling, making them much more docile and good-tempered.
@@GrainneDhub-ll6vw When I typed my response, yours hadn't even showed up in my comments LOL. After I sent my response, yours showed up for me, making my response unnecessary. Oops!
She remembered her show prep days, what a sweet girl! Thanks to the owner for finally realizing the need to surrender her, thanks to the Sanctuary for helping her and thanks to Right Choice for another awesome job!
@BalconyFish I didn't say blame the ffa. I said it should be a topic talked about to ensure the animals aren't forgotten and neglected. Make after care something they talk about from the start and educate the parents as to their responsibilities with animal.
Breaks my heart to see this poor sheep having been neglected for so long. What a great job you did Katie and thank you so much for your gentle and calm manner. So appreciate your videos!
You are by far the most gentle shearer I have seen on You Tube. You may look like a pro-wrestler in competition with the animals, but from the elbows down, you have the most gentle touch which I can see the sheep take on. I love watching you work!
Fortunately, as a show sheep she’s probably accustomed to being handled, so this is less stressful for her than a wilder sheep. Poor girl. Looks like she’ll have a nice fleece when she gets to be shorn every year.
Yes, in the end it helped her, but it's still sad to think of her being handled and loved and then just being abandoned like that. I mean at least they didn't starve her, but that's still a low bar.
@@anna9072 She was so sweet. I fell in love with her watching her sit so calmly and let go of so much dead weight. Imagine losing 23 pounds in a few short minutes? I wonder if the wool was usable or just trash due to the neglect?
@@pippadawg7037 hard to say, it kind of depends on the character of the fleece, whether it felted at all. But that merino they found in New Zealand with 7 years of growth had a useable fleece, so it’s certainly possible. Likely to be very dirty/full of vegetation on the outside, though.
while obviously it would have been best to maintain this poor gal's upkeep in the first place, I'm glad the owners finally acknowledged they couldn't care for her and gave her up to a place that could give her back some quality of life. fantastic work as always!
Do we know if the owners gave her up willingly or only after animal control got on the case? It's like when the boss invites you to quit before you get fired or arrested.
What a shame her people didn't care for her after she was done being a project. Thank you for helping this sweet girl. Hoping she has the good life going forward.
This poor sheep. Last summer was a scorcher and I just can’t imagine how hard a it’s been for her these last 4 summers. Enjoy watching your passion for what you do!
such a sweet girl, she seemed to enjoy it. both the attention and the shearing. I drove my dad out in the middle of nowhere and meet some sheep that were so ready for a meet and greet. just come up to a total stranger for a nice scratch.
When you're met with the sight of sweat and lanolin, you know Katie's shearing another hot sheep. While educating, she turns and spins one hot mess into one cool mama. Thank you, Darian and Katie, for Right Choice Shearing is the best 🤠🐏✂️🇿🇦
You really have a love and a talent for shearing. The thought of working in the heat while handling wool and an animal just makes me think of sweat and itchiness. Glad I’m not a shearer!
As always, you have such a gentle touch and incredible kindness towards each animal you shear! ❤ No wonder they don't fight you! You two are such wonderful people! I wish I could meet you. Stay safe and as cool as possible in this heat. 🥰 The Iowa 12 and their cat mom
Bless her heart!!! She has to feel soooooo much better!!! She behaved beautifully and you did a great job. Hope she finds the loving home she deserves.
Katie & Darian. You two are The Best❣️ I thought I'd seen it all in the years of watching your channel, but this shear tops it all. Magnificent life-saving shear you two. Can feel the love from thousands of miles away❤🙏👍🤗
It is a crime that's called neglect! IMAGINE not taking a bath or washing your hair for 4yrs and your parents do not care, what would you call that? Yep abuse, neglect, indifference...Humans think they are so smart, you see so much of atrocity done by humans, we are so full of ourselves, that there is no more shame or morals or common sense anymore. It is pitiful what we do to animals and each other. I'M GLAD SHE WAS RESCUE AND THE AWESOME TEAM OF RCS WAS THERE AND DID AN AMAZING JOB AS ALWAYS!
Thank you for showing the whole cut. I was exhausted by the end of it! I can't imagine how tiring that was for you, but you were so gentle along with that strength. Really admirable. Thank you for what you do. It means a lot to this perfect stranger. ❤
Thank you for sharing the severely extreme shearing clients you, and wife, do. By showing the good, bad and ugly, you point out the proper animal care. You have taught me so much about reasons why a proper shearing schedule is so important to good animal health.
Dangit y'all this girl made me cry . I can't imagine her suffering. Some people just have no dag'on sense. I'm glad she's at the sanctuary now. God Bless y'all 💯 🙏 ❤ 🇺🇸
Your an amazing person. That is not a job for the faint of heart.. I think it would take great confidence to attack a job like that, you jumped right in..your a bad ass no doubt about it....god bless and very cool video.
Everytime i see one of your videos your genuine love and care for the animals you spend so little time with jumps out the screen. Kudos to yall from this city girl animal lover on amazing care for the specific needs of the animals who are under human care but not used to human handling.
I’m an almost 82 year old from Jefferson, Texas, and enjoy your videos so much. I love show you seem to inspire so much trust for these sweet animals. So glad you’re from my state.
Great job! That really looked like a workout! Poor girl! About a decade ago, three sheep were in a field that I drove by every day for 5 years. I never saw them shorn, they were out in all kinds of weather here in Nebraska. I called the sheriff's office to complain about the sheep every 6 months, but nothing was done. Their fleece was dragging on the ground, they could barely move, and you could barely see their legs! I took a video of them when they got close to the road fence one morning. I took that video to the Humane Society in the next county and the sheriff's office there, and FINALLY some action was taken. The next week they were gone. I always wondered how much fleece came off of them. Two years later I finally heard why they were in this condition, the old man who had them passed on and the living family members just abandoned them. I am glad this girl is going to see a second life somewhere.
Wow what a great job you did shearing her! It’s amazing that you were able to avoid cutting into wrinkles. It’s so difficult to get a person to shear just a 4H or FFA flock. There’s no money in it. I remember shearing the best I could with hand shears some years. The poor sheep looked like ridiculous, but they didn’t suffer in the summer heat. I also remember helpful octogenarian farmers shearing our hobby flock and accidentally cropping ears, etc. Thanks for taking such care and demonstrating great professionalism.
Thank you so much dear one for caring about the animals that have been ignored for too long. I’m thankful to God that you chose this profession! What a blessing you are to overgrown animals that are suffering. I bless you sweetie and say keep going. ❤ blessings to you from OKC grandmother.❤
That poor sweet girl! She is gorgeous! Don’t know how you managed, Katie, in that ungodly heat! Good on you!!! Thank you SO much for your patience working thru all that!!! You are the bomb!!! Bless u and ur wife!! ❤🐑
Thank you SO much for helping Fergie! ❤❤ She took the shearing very well, so must have known you were there to help her. I bet it's a massive relief for her, well done! 😊xx
That poor baby was in the heat with all that fluff 😭 she had so much buildup underneath too! So glad she was surrendered to the rescue! Sounds like she has a bright future ahead of her after being freed from that wool 🙌
I imagine wave after wave of cool air caressing her newly exposed skin. That and the soothing vibrations of the sheer. Maybe a little scary, but she is happy. You did a good job. She will be happy to see you again.
there is no doubt you are a complete master of your craft. You made a difficult task look easy while it was also under difficult conditions. You are clearly a credit to your trade.
As always that must feel so great getting all that off! Ever since i learned about it i have found it amazing that sheep have natural oils that help with nicks and cuts, almost like someone or something created them for textile production. Of course I'm well aware that the several thousand years of selective breeding and evolution could theoretically have much the same result, obviously the sheep whos oils help heal the nicks will be healthier then one that doesn't and a few thousand generations of that, hard to say.
Oh man, I was worried when I saw the video was over 10 minutes long. That poor sheep shouldnt have been left to suffer for four years. Thank you for being so good to her ❤
What a good sheep! So sweet natured and patient, and I bet her wool is good quality. I hope she finds a happy forever home with someone who appreciates her.
She was so thankful that you took her wool coat off. You could tell that she was giving you a thank you hug when she was standing still at the end. You could see the happy expression on her face.
That is so cruel to leave her like that, she seems so good tempered, thanks for helping her.
She went through two or three Texas summers with all that wool, poor girl.
These animal owners are to blame!!!
The other sickening videos are fly strike. Lots are literally being eaten alive.
@@myreasonforlife.9511Severe fly strike can happen in less than 24 hours, so it's not really a good indicator of if an animal is neglected or not.
@@myreasonforlife.9511what is fly strike
@@AccidentallyOnPurpose you can prevent it by just simply using a spray. It's carelessness

I’m an almost 82 year old from Jefferson, Texas, and enjoy your videos so much. I love show you seem to inspire so much trust for these sweet animals. So glad you’re from my state.
Would like to give 10x more "Thumbs up"!!!
Good job, you two!
Thx for show and tell, Sisters
Greetings from Germany🤘
Happy girl to get that wool off!! She was so calm...a lot of credit to the care taken during the sheering! Thanks for sharing!
Great job! That really looked like a workout! Poor girl! About a decade ago, three sheep were in a field that I drove by every day for 5 years. I never saw them shorn, they were out in all kinds of weather here in Nebraska. I called the sheriff's office to complain about the sheep every 6 months, but nothing was done. Their fleece was dragging on the ground, they could barely move, and you could barely see their legs! I took a video of them when they got close to the road fence one morning. I took that video to the Humane Society in the next county and the sheriff's office there, and FINALLY some action was taken. The next week they were gone. I always wondered how much fleece came off of them. Two years later I finally heard why they were in this condition, the old man who had them passed on and the living family members just abandoned them. I am glad this girl is going to see a second life somewhere.
awww sweet girl was so good. I bet she was so relieved and grateful. Thanks for sharing
You care so much for the animal, after all this time and soooo many shears , you still clearly love them
Very very admirable❤️
Wow what a great job you did shearing her! It’s amazing that you were able to avoid cutting into wrinkles. It’s so difficult to get a person to shear just a 4H or FFA flock. There’s no money in it. I remember shearing the best I could with hand shears some years. The poor sheep looked like ridiculous, but they didn’t suffer in the summer heat. I also remember helpful octogenarian farmers shearing our hobby flock and accidentally cropping ears, etc. Thanks for taking such care and demonstrating great professionalism.
Thank you so much dear one for caring about the animals that have been ignored for too long. I’m thankful to God that you chose this profession! What a blessing you are to overgrown animals that are suffering. I bless you sweetie and say keep going. ❤ blessings to you from OKC grandmother.❤
Ohh poor girl. She must have felt so free after you helped her. ❤
I love your kindness and the animals look like they love it too! All the best from CT.
That poor sweet girl! She is gorgeous! Don’t know how you managed, Katie, in that ungodly heat! Good on you!!! Thank you SO much for your patience working thru all that!!! You are the bomb!!! Bless u and ur wife!! ❤🐑
You amaze me…so kind thoughtful and gentle always. Love to watch all your videos. ❤️
She is such a good girl. She has to feel so much better with some air on her poor skin. Thank you for your kindness and gentle care. ❤❤❤❤
This neglect is an abuse 😢.
Wonderful job as always❤❤
Thank you SO much for helping Fergie! ❤❤
She took the shearing very well, so must have known you were there to help her.
I bet it's a massive relief for her, well done! 😊xx
That poor baby was in the heat with all that fluff 😭 she had so much buildup underneath too! So glad she was surrendered to the rescue! Sounds like she has a bright future ahead of her after being freed from that wool 🙌
Thank you for the education on shearing. I had no idea on the whys😊. Ran across a short video & have been watching every since🙏🙏😊😊
She looks like she is enjoying it, finally to get sheared!
You are so good at this!! Thank you for your compassion!!
I just love watching you shear! Wow that was Massive! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences-I'll be watching!
First (and hopefully only) time I’ve heard of feces and urine as juices. Would you like yours over ice?
That poor thing that is terrible those people let her get to that condition. Thank you for helping her
Have a fantastic day, both. Definitely earned it after that sheer!
❤ Thank you for such a good job on that poor animal. You treated her so carefully and with great patients.
I imagine wave after wave of cool air caressing her newly exposed skin. That and the soothing vibrations of the sheer. Maybe a little scary, but she is happy. You did a good job. She will be happy to see you again.
there is no doubt you are a complete master of your craft. You made a difficult task look easy while it was also under difficult conditions. You are clearly a credit to your trade.
Great Job! Thanks for helping her! 🤗
I just love how amazing you and your wife are with these animals. Beautiful job and I'm sure that Fergie is very grateful!
Her wool will be very nice once she gets her annual shearings.. Looks like a lovely blend for spinning and knitting.
Yeah, when she said the breed cross, I was thinking that sounds like lovely spinning fiber. Such a waste, and so unbelievably cruel to the poor sheep.
Poor sweet girl. So glad yall got to her
Beautiful sheep, glad she's better 💖
You are amazing ! Skilled, experienced, and caring ! Perfect
I chose to believe Fergie knew you were there to help her. This was very enlightening. Thank yous to you and all that helped her.
As always that must feel so great getting all that off!
Ever since i learned about it i have found it amazing that sheep have natural oils that help with nicks and cuts, almost like someone or something created them for textile production.
Of course I'm well aware that the several thousand years of selective breeding and evolution could theoretically have much the same result, obviously the sheep whos oils help heal the nicks will be healthier then one that doesn't and a few thousand generations of that, hard to say.
I love the work, skill and kindness of you and your family. ❤️ Thank you for what you all do.
Oh man, I was worried when I saw the video was over 10 minutes long. That poor sheep shouldnt have been left to suffer for four years. Thank you for being so good to her ❤
Love you shearing. You are so kind to the animals! Really appreciate your kindness and talent!!
What a sweet girl. I'm sure she's feeling much better now.
Another incredible shearing job Katie. Thank you for what you do!! 💖🐑
She’s feeling so much better!!!40lb is a whole other lamb she was essentially carrying in all that heat! Thank you so much!
Katie, you are so kind. The animals you shear are lucky to have you.
She must feel so much better now ❤❤❤❤
What a good sheep! So sweet natured and patient, and I bet her wool is good quality. I hope she finds a happy forever home with someone who appreciates her.
That poor sheep. I hope she feels a million times better and gets sheered much more often from now on. Great job! 💚
♥️🐑. Thank you for helping her. A relief to see it all gone, can only image the relief for her🥹🐑.
Thank God folks like you choose to do this work and help these poor animals. Thank you.
She was so thankful that you took her wool coat off. You could tell that she was giving you a thank you hug when she was standing still at the end. You could see the happy expression on her face.
Thanks so much for all you do. I am learning a lot as well. God bless!!
