How long does a sheep with longish wool take to dry out? Mine just been rained on ..... might need to delay shearer?
-
Depends on how wet they are and how strongh the sun is :).
If they are dry underneath your shearer *might* shear them, but you will need to dry out the fleeces. Otherwise, you will need to reschedule. Your shearer will know so just call them to ask.

Thank you .... we are resheduling. Air too wet for any drying to happen ......... living in a cloud today. Shame .....

Wind's the best for drying them, sun and wind will dry them in a few hours.
Here we go again... 'unsettled weather' all summer long? :rant:
