North Dakota man shears 1.2 million sheep in 13 countries and 27 states Hilary Gietzen has sheared sheep all over the world, but he enjoys coming back to shear in his home state of North Dakota ...

She learned sheep shearing as a teenager from her father, a hobby farmer who taught himself shearing and tried to introduce the craft to both of his children. “My brother hated it,” she said.

Animal rights group PETA released the vision overnight, which they claim was taken in shearing sheds across NSW, Victoria and South Australia between August 2013 and March 2014.
