The ShearMaster – Smarter Shearing Starts Here

The Perkinz ShearMaster is a practical, cost-effective alternative to a traditional woolshed setup. Designed by shearers, for shearers — with your labour, time and capital in mind.

By eliminating the catching pen, the ShearMaster uses our proven race delivery system to bring sheep directly to the shearer; cutting down drag distance, reducing fatigue, and speeding up the job.

Why It Makes Sense

Let’s say you’re shearing 250 sheep averaging 80kg.

In a traditional shed, you’re dragging 20,000kg of sheep across the board — often 3–4 metres each. That’s nearly 1,000 metres of dragging in one day.

With the ShearMaster? Sheep arrive at the shearer’s side — so you’re only dragging half a metre. Multiply that over days and mobs, and you’re saving serious energy and strain.

And that’s just shearing. Crutching pushes the workload even further — which makes smart sheep movement a must.

Smaller Shed. More Output. Better ROI.

Saves time - quicker sheep flow, faster tallies
Saves energy - less physical strain on shearers
Saves Money - reduced shed size and infrastructure
Multi-purpose - works in new builds or retrofit woolsheds

Efficient Sheep Flow = Consistent Work

The ShearMaster’s long race system keeps sheep flowing and shearers working.

A 5-stand setup holds 35–40 sheep, meaning 7–8 sheep per shearer are ready to go at all times. That means fewer stops to refill the race, and more shearing per hour.

Smart Features. Practical Benefits.

Long Race = Less Handling
Sheep are already facing the right direction — no turning or wrestling required.
Hands-Free Race Latch
Just lean your hip to release the sheep. No flicking latches or opening gates — safer, faster, and easier on the body.
Compact Footprint = Smarter Shed Use
- Build a smaller new shed
- Retrofit into an older woolshed
- Create a multi-use space for gear or storage

Designed by a Shearer, Not Just an Engineer

This isn’t a concept built behind a desk it’s the result of on-farm problem solving.

The ShearMaster was designed by someone who’s done the hard yards in the shed. The goal?
A safe, simple, and innovative system that improves shearing, crutching, and upright cradle crutching, the ShearMaster gives you more flexibility and a lot less stress.
