Shearing the left front leg7. Left front leg: Hold the head of the sheep back with your left elbow and press down on the shoulder blade. This will help stiffen the leg. Clean the wool on the lower leg. Grab the foot with your left hand and lift to stroke under the leg. Strokes three and four should be applied in an upward direction toward the head. On the fourth stroke, turn the sheep full length on its right side.
