Wool producers are turning to a shearer with a purpose-built trailer owned by Mildura's Vincent Madden. The futuristic trailer helps to keep big rams calm during shearing. The trailer also saves the shearer's back when handling large animals.
"As the sheep walk up into the race, it clamps the rams and tips them over into a cradle where there are two sets of leg holders that hold the front and back legs. They can fight as much as they want but there is no issue to shearing them.” He said. https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2020-12-16/big-ram-trailer-shearing-keeps-shearers-safe-injury-free/12984320
