Title: Singing Shearer.....he is really good!
Post by: woollyval on June 14, 2012, 04:18:45 pm
We have had the pleasure of a visit from Philip today and I can guarentee he is very good! Ouessants are fiddly and difficult and wriggle like a good un but he is quiet and patient and they all look good! Since we have a dearth of shearers in this area due to retirements we will book him again!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Isn't he brilliant?! He's like a sheep whisperer - my 2 ewe's loved him!

I really like his calm, steady way with the sheep too, as well as shearing them nicely :thumbsup:

Thanks Everyone for the good feedback,
Nice to meet you Val and all your helpers, who did a great job.
Hope I didn't bleed on your white fleece too much ;D and thanks for the plaster.

For anyone who is interested I now have a comments page on my website, always good to get feedback about my work (good, bad or indifferent)

Thanks,
Philip :sheep: :sheep: :sheep: ;D

Yup, another fan here  :thumbsup:

Not only is he patient and kind with the sheep, he's the same with novice she-shearers!   ::)

And yes, I did do the last one myself, after you'd gone, and yes I got it off in one and no there was no blood.  Perhaps a little unorthodox in places...  :innocent: but we made it. 

Of course I won't be able to stand or walk properly for a couple of days...  ::)

Thanks so much for fitting us in at the end of a long day.  We really appreciate it.  :bouquet:
