The main feature of Mongolian way to shear the sheep is that they don’t use the blades; instead they use large scissors to shear the sheep. Since his arrival in New Zealand in 2012, he learnt to machine shear in NZ and since then, he has been shearing in his local area. He intends to return to Mongolia in near future with his family and plans to put the machine shearing skills he has learnt in New Zealand to good use in his home country of Mongolia.
