Biotech sheepshearing?

This is an odd bit of information. One of the TV shows this evening had a brief piece about what I guess I'd call an experimental method of shearing sheep. Basically,  it amounts to putting a net longjohn on each sheep, and giving them a shot. Then, about a month later, the workers simply peel the wool off, very much like taking a sweater off. They estimated 10 seconds or less for each sheep -- getting them lined up seemed to take more work than shearing the wool!

Peel-away sheep's wool! Now that's a real advance.
