    It's time for Montana sheep producers to have their animals sheared of their winter wool. Shearing keeps the sheep cool in hot weather, and allows new born lambs to nurse more easily. Shearing is a physically demanding job that requires experience and dexterity. Leroy Sikorski is known among his clients as an expert shearer, and for his gentle treatment of the animals in his care. NBC Montana met Leroy as he sheared sheep rancher Kim Marr's flock near Lolo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
