Title: Sheep Shearing East/Central Scotland
Post by: Croftgary on May 30, 2010, 04:21:18 pm

After 4 years helping out my shearer, I have decided to help him out and he is looking to expand to shearing more small flocks / the odd sheep in East/Central Scotland.

We're sheared for this year but I like to plan ahead so will you be covering Carnoustie, as my current shearer doesn't. I have Ryelands so very wooly (I could hear my boy muttering under his breath "never seen as much bl**dy wool on a bl**dy sheep".

Does your area extend as far south as North Lanarkshire?

Hello,
Is Kirknewton ( about 10mins drive from Edinburgh airport) too far? If so do you know of anyone who would be? I have 8 pet shetland sheep who need sheared and feet trimed since I have hurt my back!

Thanks Kay  :horse:
