my vet gave me a contact number .... might be worth asking ? Or are there any flock owners around who show as some of them shear their own and might be willing to do a couple. The shearer recommended by the vet came last night just after 9pm. Several extension leads to the field and soon the deed was done. He did a good job and wasn't rough with the sheep. Having had the two show gimmers done by a showing friend earlier in the year I only had 3 and a half to do (having had a go on one with hand shears and giving up leaving her doing a lion impression!!!) He was happy to do that number. Don't know if he would travel to you, I could ask him. Perhaps if there were a few of you in close vicinity to each other, or if you were able to go to one place. I know that would be difficult for some, e.g. mine are MV accredited so couldn't take them to non-MV premises.
