History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 115210-16 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • Sheep shearing has been a part of human history for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all practiced sheep shearing, and the wool trade was a significant part of the economy in medieval Europe. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Industrial Revolution brought about significant advancements in sheep shearing technology, including the development of mechanical shears. In the United States, sheep shearing became a significant industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with many farmers raising sheep for their wool. Today, sheep shearing is still an important industry worldwide, with many countries producing high-quality wool for use in textiles and other products. Recent history of sheep shearing in the United States has been marked by a decline in the number of sheep farms and shearers. According to the USDA, the number of sheep farms in the United States has decreased by over 50% since the 1990s, and the number of shearers has also declined. This decline has been attributed to a variety of factors, including competition from synthetic fibers, changes in consumer preferences, and the high cost of labor. Despite these challenges, the sheep shearing industry in the United States remains an important part of the agricultural sector, and many farmers continue to raise sheep for their wool.
