Title: Shearer in Oxfordshire needed.
Post by: Smashy and gang on May 22, 2012, 07:22:39 pm

Hi there, does anyone have suggestions for a shearer in Oxfordshire? We had the singing shearer last year and he was fab so I will message him directly but just wondered if there were other options in case he is busy. We are late getting organised this year!

I believe that the Singing Shearer is planning a trip to Oxfordshire as I am on his waiting list and I am in Towcester  :)
Failing that in the past I have found a shearer by advertising in my local feed merchants

I'm not sure how far he'll travel as he is based in Bedfordshire but try Mike Churchouse of the Sheer Sheep experience. His web address is sheersheep.co.uk He has always done ours for us and is very very good

Hi Smashy and Toaster,

Don't worry, I am planning a trip down next week so I will let you know an exact date asap, It will probably be the 28th or 29th.

Thanks,
Philip :sheep:

Philip, do you come down to Kent?
I've got 60 and my neighbour has 37 to do.


We are about 20 minutes from J5 M25
