Title: Sheep shearer needed Carmarthen area
Post by: Jane James on June 15, 2016, 02:37:23 pm

:I have five sheep in need of shearing and my usual sheep shearer has given up. Can anybody please recommend a contact?  I need them to be able to treat and do feet trim at the same time.  I am getting a bit anxious now as the weather has turned damp and warm. Perfect conditions for flies and we are very lowland.

I would greatly appreciate any help.

Slightly unusual to do feet at the same time I would have thought.

We had our 5 sheep and 3 alpacas sheared last week, he does trim the alpaca feet but not the sheep as we can do those ourselves, so I don't know if he would or not.

I can PM you his contact details if you like although I will add he is currently very busy and we booked him back in Feb/Mar for last week.

That would be wonderful if you could please  We can do the feet ourselves,  but my husband had a slipped disc in his neck a year or so ago and is a bit cautious these days. One of the boys is a bit heavy.
