Is shearing good for the animal?

Yes. Sheep grow wool continuously, it is important to shear them at least once a year. Shearing is generally carried out in spring, so that the sheep don't get overheated during summer. In very hot weather, sheep carrying too much wool will get heat stressed and die. If the sheep's fleece gets water logged, it can become cast and unable to right itself. Long fleece is particularly likely to get very tangled and soiled, making the sheep very susceptible to fly bites.

Are there tricks to shearing sheep?

A nick of the hide will provide high mortality rates, so the basic rule is that fast is nice and safe is best.
