Did You Know…?
- Wool sheep breeds (or wool/hair crosses) were bred for their coats and can’t regulate the excess weight of the wool on their own. Shearing them prevents them from overheating and improves their quality of life.
- The Guinness World Record for the fastest time to shear one sheep is 37.9 seconds. The record was set in 2016 by Ivan Scott from Ireland.
- Sheep shearing has been an annual tradition since the days of medieval England, where the wool trade was a vital part of the economy.
