Blade Shearing or Hand Shearing Sheep
SHEARING DAY with Kevin Ford “America’s foremost ‘blade’ sheepshearer.”
Harvesting wool with Kevin Ford professional sheep shearer and Rising Meadow Farm a sheep farm in Liberty North Carolina.
Ford literally wrote the book “Shearing Day: Sheep Handling Wood Science and Shearing with Blades, ” on blade shearing. Blade sheep shearing is sheep shearing by hand without mechanical devices. While blade shearing is traditional in countries like Ireland, it is largely a lost art around the world.
Shearing sheep isn't inhumane, it is in fact good husbandry. Sheep need us to shear them as we have bread them to produce large amounts of wool and not shed.
