    As horrible as that video makes it seem, I'd rather be molested by a shaving robot than be lamb shanks.

    @HJTravels: now i've heard of turtle wax, but not sheep.


    kidding aside. haha, not a sheep joke, but whatever. anyway, wax would ruin the wool.

    my ex-gf raises sheep and just watching them shear them made me cringe. now i know they were being as gentle as possible, but most livestock/farm animal you have to man handle a bit to control.

    That's horrific and pointless. Anyone who does this for a living can do it in a fraction of the time that this clunker takes.

    @Count Spatula:


    Except of course that (i) it is in the early stages (I am sure that people said the same, say, thing about early automobiles with the guy walking out in front with a flag), and (ii) who cares how long it takes? That is, instead of 30 specialist guys swarming a station once a year for, say, a week, you can have this thing plugging along for, say, a month with just the regular hands loading and unloading...

    @scubak1w1: I have my doubts as to how much faster this machine can get due to the sensitive nature of dealing with a live animal. Other than that, it still requires at least one person to baby sit this machine to get the sheep in the machine and to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

    Yeah, because this is cheaper and faster than highering a bunch of dudes with sheers.

    @henhen: Yeah. It's time lapse, and not real time. As for the tight groupings, there's a reason Border Collies are the smartest dog. They can be taught complex commands such as direction, and if you get 4 "teams" of dogs, each trained to a certain command/whistle, you can do this pretty easily. The hardest part is what this must have taken in "real time".
