How do I shear sheep?

Hiya,

I can't seem to shear sheep with a turtle.
turtle.attack() seems to just kill them.

turtle.dig() seems to just till the dirt under them.
They do jump around a lot, so it's possible I'm just not hitting them right.

What's the proper way to shear sheep?

turtle.place()
you're welcome :P/>/>
edit: dont forget to have shears in your current selected slot on that turtle!

Last time I checked, turtles can't be crafted with shears, thus cannot shear sheep.

Put shears in the inventory of the turtle then do turtle.place.

I can confirm that the following script will shear a sheep and get the wool if there are shears in slot 1:
turtle.select(1)
turtle.placeDown()
turtle.suckDown()

and thanks! It makes auto sheep farming very easy.

You don't need to suck. Turtles will automatically pick up the items dropped.
