Farm Life and living require a deep commitment to the land, animals, and the community.

As a person who grew up on a farm, here's some info for ya:
The sheep does need to be 'upside down for it to be less likely to wriggle. The sheep wriggling is what causes most cuts. There seem to be more cuts than I would expect here, though. If the shearer accidentally made a small cut, we would immediately spray it with antiseptic, marked with a purple dye so you can see it has been treated. If it was any bigger than a tiny bit, we might put some tape on it (like a sheep plaster). Most sheep we had would emerge without cuts.
Shearing is necessary because modern sheep breeds don't shed their wool in summer and are more likely to get heat stroke and undetected maggots (which eat the sheep alive) if not shaven, and would eventually find it hard to walk if their wool was left to grow for
