Have you ever seen a shorn sheep shorn? (try saying that five times!)

Our daily sheep live show combines fun and laughter with the traditional and challenging skill of sheep shearing. Our expert shepherds share the secrets of the world’s most versatile fibre, wool, while demonstrating how we shear a sheep and why the sheep need to be sheared.

Why do we shear sheep?

Have you ever wondered why we take all the wool off our sheeps?

Well, all adult sheep are sheared once a year to help them. It allows them to keep cool in summer, helps them avoid fly strike and stops them becoming cast (stuck on their backs). It also stops them from getting caught in brambles and bushes.

So there you go! Now you can tell your friends next time you see a shorn sheep in the field, that it’s for their own good!
