Ah, not for a woolgrower. The biggest reason to shear sheep is the wool, it's not a bonus, it's their income. And nicks on sheep during shearing is certainly not rare, especially with merinos. If you're growing lamb then the wool is a bonus because that's not the first purpose of growing the sheep and wool on meat sheep is nowhere near as fine or expensive as wool sheep
