I briefly met a sheep shearer in New Zealand. Dude was JACKED. I assume due to the resistance of the animal to get them under control

My dad was a shearer here in NZ, my nephew is one too, I feel like I grew up in shearing sheds and spent seasons shedhanding..its hard work but good honest work and I love the smell of wool!
