Thank you for that Adam and Philip possibly I am a bit early, trying to balance clipping when it's ready and copping for flystrike is a difficult one.
I'm not very experienced but I am aware that you should wait for the wool to 'lift'.
Once the clogging is removed, which is quite hard, it won't just push off, hence the wire brush, the clippers work fine.
I've got one more Ryeland to go so I may leave her until a bit later to see if there is any difference.
Also I'll pluck up courage and move the cutter forward, it just seems so flaming easy to catch them, do they do a comb which give you a bit more of a safety margin, the wool quality is less important to me than not cutting the sheep.
