Funny you mention that. Back around '92 I visited an Australian company that was developing a robotic sheep shearing machine. The engineers were a bit "sheepish" when I inquired about the clip they attached to the sheep's tail. It turns out that their robot would sometimes misjudge distances and cut the sheep. The system would do an emergency retraction of the clippers when they sensed continuity from the shears to the tail clip, through the sheeps body and blood.teknitroxdiver:Yep, electric clippers do the job. About 4" wide, they get it done fast. Of course, if you push too hard, you cut a nice 4" wide hole in the sheep's side. :ugh:
