The DVD is designed to be used by trainers and trainees. It features footage of professional shearers from four angles for maximum observation combined with captions and a voice over explanation.
The training DVD is aimed at people getting started in the industry and covers topics such as the basic gear needed, handpiece set-up and maintenance, and how to catch and drag a sheep to the stands. It also shows shearing techniques for both Merino and crossbred sheep.
Elite shearers including current World Champion Shannon Warnest, Karl Goodman and Dwayne Black assisted in the production of the DVD with the Australian Sheep Industry Cooperative Research Centre providing technical advice, scripting and editing assistance.
The DVD has recently been enhanced to include a section on the vulnerable areas of the sheep such as teats, ears and vulva.
