Title: Shearing NE Scotland
Post by: Dougal on May 09, 2013, 10:20:26 pm

I am shearing throughout the Aberdeenshire and Angus areas again this year. Any number, Any breed, Any where considered. I'm very experienced and have both mains and battery powered machines so I can set up almost anywhere. Any questions, please just PM me.
Cheers, Dougal.

Douglas would you be able to book us in like last year ?


(NB still have 2 to lamb so would need to be Juneish onwards I think)?? 18  to shear?


Lots of lambies here, buckets of them are ewe lambs :-)

Book me in too - more organised this year!!


2 Moorits still to lamb but I can do them later - the shetlands are starting to loose their fleece - end of may would be great for me.


So it'll be 7 Moorits and 14 shetlands.

Me too please with my Gotland x Shetland mob  ;D  We aren't finished lambing yet  ::)  so a bit later on would be good.

I've noted you all down and I'll be in touch in due course. Here's hoping for better weather this summer to make the job simpler!

Dougal did a super job shearing our flock today :-)) cheery and efficient as always. Fitted us in early as we are very close to home for him! Highly recommended, and the ewes are looking much more comfy!
