Title: Shearing Angora Goats
Post by: cuckoo on July 25, 2014, 02:48:02 pm
Hi,

I have been recommended getting some shearing / clipping equipment from Horner Shearing to do my angoras with and they recommend the following - does anyone else have any constructive comments please about this / these?

The Heiniger 12V is £275, the Beiyuan Mohair combs are £14 each and the cutters are £2.90 each (for quantities under 10) plus VAT. We would advise using two cutters to one comb. At a rough estimate, you will  be able to clip around 2-3 animals before they will need sharpening so the cost will vary according to how many combs/cutter you'll need. For the 12V, one combs and two cutters, including the VAT, the total would be £353.76. We do free shipping which is two to three working days or guaranteed next working day at £5.95.

Thanks
