At Connor’s Ranch in Australia, they would yearly herd the sheep in to have them sheered!
It’s an art form, and the best of the best can sheer sheep in less than a minute (World Record Set 2016 one sheep every 36 Seconds)
It’s important to keep sheep sheered or their coats become to big, matted, and become deadly to the sheep. In 2015 they found a lost sheep that had 40kg of fleece. They had to bring in a Champion Sheering to get the matted fleece off of him.
For Connor, any Vampire that want’s to learn to sheer or just be a ‘manly man’ though woman are also welcome Lara still holds the fastest time for novice! They are welcome at his ranch to learn how to sheer, and put in a good days of hard work.
Plus it’s a good place to get back to your roots and run around naked screaming … you will only will be judged by the sheep.
You know, I never knew that sheep shearing would be such a big deal. It’s kind of scarily amazing that it can be done in a minute. I can totally see how necessary it would be though. And Of course, Lara would be skilled at it. I mean bungee acrobatics inside a mansion! Who does that! . Let’s see who would sign up for that? *Taps chin pondering*
Champion Sheering should be a Sheerer (the person sheering) the sheep would also need to be dipped and crutched to prevent bugs and fly strike (where the flies are so bad they lay their eggs directly onto the live sheep) Some of the better quality sheep (wool) are kept indoors these days because their wool is so sort after and expensive think Armani etc that they do not want dirt and snarls in it.
