⚡️🌧️ WOW… this is WILD shearing footage! 🌧️⚡️
Extremely wild — but the reality is, we’ve been dealing with extreme weather events for decades.
From 24 November 2025, the extreme heat kicked in again, and it’s only forecast to get worse through Christmas 2025 and well into 2026.
👀 Ewe really need to watch this.
And remember — you’re lucky we’re the ones who come to Ewe.
I’ve just watched footage of shearers still on the board while a massive storm cell tears through the property — rain and wind blasting straight up the shoot onto the shearing board, sheets of water coming in sideways, the shed roof starting to rip off…
The inside of the shearing shed is literally raining — and these blokes are still finishing off their last ewe. 😳🐑
It really makes you stop and think…
People never ask, “Couldn’t you just do this work outdoors?”
In weather like this? Not a chance.
Even our teams get caught while out just travelling to sites while trying to assist clients and protect livestock.
Let’s be clear:
✅ Clients are responsible for ensuring sites and livestock are ready — time is money in shearing.
✅ Our shearing teams and mobile rigs are built for extreme conditions, and we operate this way 24/7 while on the road.
✅ Extreme weather causes downtime, delays, additional handling, livestock stress, and serious safety risks.
✅ A proper shearing shed reduces exposure to storms, heat, wind, and rain — providing shelter, control, and a safer working environment to keep jobs moving.
This is exactly why good infrastructure matters.
A shed isn’t a luxury — it’s a workplace & safety. Just like our mobile shearing rigs are multi-purpose-set for extreme conditions, a proper shed can be the difference between:
👉 getting the job done safely
👉 or not getting it done at all
Stay safe out there, lads.
Nothing but respect for anyone working through conditions like this. 🙏🐑💪
