A shearer's kit is essential for ensuring the job is done efficiently and safely. It typically includes high-quality clippers, shears, and other specialized tools, all designed for precision when shearing sheep. Proper maintenance of these tools is crucial for achieving the best results—regularly oiling and sharpening clippers helps maintain their performance, while cleaning and storing them properly ensures longevity. A well-maintained kit not only makes the shearing process smoother but also ensures the safety and comfort of both the shearer and the sheep.

Trimming sheep and lamb feet is an essential part of their care routine. Regular foot maintenance helps prevent painful conditions like foot rot, which can affect their mobility and overall health. By keeping their hooves well-trimmed, farmers ensure that the sheep can walk comfortably, graze effectively, and remain healthy. Proper foot care also reduces the risk of infections and helps maintain the sheep's overall welfare, contributing to better productivity and wellbeing in the flock.

The shoes worn by shearers are often called "shearing boots" or "shearing clogs." These boots are specifically designed for the rough and slippery conditions that come with sheep shearing. They have slip-resistant soles, strong support, and are durable enough to withstand the demands of the job.

In some regions, shearers might also use "blundstone boots" or other durable work boots that offer similar features.

Shearing sheep is an essential part of maintaining their health and comfort. Sheep naturally grow wool throughout the year, and regular shearing prevents overheating, promotes good hygiene, and ensures their wool remains of the highest quality. Once the wool is sheared, each fleece is carefully rolled and bagged. Preserving its integrity for processing at the mill. This meticulous process helps maintain the wool's natural qualities, ensuring it’s ready to be transformed into high-quality fabrics and products, contributing to a sustainable and efficient wool supply chain.
