Title: Shearing
Post by: bocky on March 22, 2013, 10:07:30 am

I know it's the last thing on your mind in the middle of lambing, but it will soon come around again.
I'm a shearer based in the Vale of Glamorgan who shears the small flocks the big contractors don't really want.
I will travel to you and set up my own gear and patiently shear your sheep.
No flock is too small or too big and nowhere is too far.
I am also available for crutching, foot trimming and grinding combs and cutters.
Contact Andrew on 07980 159593
I will PM all enquiries

Sorry my geography is not that great but would you come and shear our 23 sheep we are between Ludlow and Leominster they are a mixture of 15 Balwen Welsh Mountain and 8 Coloured Ryelands and I'd like them sheared  in the middle to end of April if the weather allows.

Hi Andrew,
   how do you charge is it by the day or by the hour and the mile?  A rough price guide would be useful for budgeting. Also, do you use blade guards for winter shearing or do customers have to provide their own?
