I've done this job but only on a few hundred ears. It's not easy work and not advisable for a skin care regime.
Back in the 50's (at least) farmers would leave a couple of acres standing, close to the feed lot, for use by the critters there. As so little was used at a time and because the whole stalk was, usually, used the work was done by hand. YEA!

You may think I'm odd (because I actually am), but I get a kick out of the sheep-to-shawl contests. It starts with sheep wrestling (some of them really, really don't like getting clipped), followed by people wrenching their shoulders out of their sockets as they card the wool (which is full of hidden knots) at top speed, a "how close can I get to this spinning gadget without my fingers being amputated" test, and ending with knitting needles moving so fast that, if the person's grip slips and they go flying, can seriously maim an innocent bystander.
