Generally speaking, wool is cut once a year in May and June, but coarse-wool sheep are cut once a year in Kechun and autumn. It is required to be trimmed neatly, without leaving two stubbles, and classified according to the length of thickness. Chemical hair removal has also been tried, mainly by feeding cyclophosphamide to make hair fall off, improving the proportion of excellent hair and labor productivity.

January, May to June

In the north, shearing wool is usually carried out in May-June, because the temperature in the north is lower, and the temperature around May is more suitable for sheep growth. Shearing wool at this time doesn't mean I don't have to worry about catching a cold and getting sick. At the same time, shearing wool also needs to choose the right weather. Generally speaking, sheep shear their wool on sunny days.

Prepare in advance

In the north, you need to be prepared to shear wool. First of all, water and grain should be cut off for sheep 12 hours in advance to prevent sheep dung from contaminating wool. At the same time, we should also drive the sheep that need shearing into the narrow sheepfold, so that the sheep can sweat out when they squeeze each other.

3. Shear method

You should also use the correct shearing method when shearing wool. First, you need to prepare a pair of sharp scissors, then put the sheep on the ground, control the sheep with your knees to avoid hurting people, and then trim it from the hind legs of the sheep until all the hair is cut off.

4. Post maintenance

In the later maintenance of shearing, we should pay attention to the change of weather. Generally speaking, sheep that have just been sheared can keep warm. At this time, if you get caught in the rain, you will easily catch a cold, stomach upset and other symptoms. Therefore, the newly sheared sheep need to be stocked when the weather is clear, so that the sheep can grow healthily.
