Stock Photo: 02 Blade Shearing Demonstration Image ID CFG8102

Picture: A demonstration of old-style blade shearing using hand shears. Hand shearers in the 19th century averaged around 100 sheep per day and not surprisingly this method soon disappeared when shearing machines became common, as they increased output to over 400 sheep per shearer.
