All I hadda do was nab 'em, tip 'em up on their butt and hand 'em over to the shearing lady.
Did have one ram that did NOT like to be sheared. He was a handful, but the shearing lady said I'd be more hindrance than help if I tried to help her hold him so I just stood back and watched her rassle that bugger. Always gave them a little tip on top of their fee for that.
