Asked a former champion shearer, who said that maybe 1% of sheep being sheared get nicked, more likely by inexperienced shearers. If the skin is not held taut, nicks will happen. For people who shave their faces with a blade, how often do you nick yourself? Saying "half the sheep's skin" is a ludicrous claim. It's not like skinning mink - you want the animal to survive the process!
- uhtred 3y agolol, you reckon most commercial mass scale sheep farmers hire world champion sheep shearers?
- dmckeon 3y agoNot world, just state. It is a skill where both speed and quality benefit the employer. Would a software company prefer programmers who produce buggy code slowly, or better programmers? [considers state of software industry ...] Uh, never mind.
