WOW - if I could only slo mo .  That is some demo - great share thanks!  That's kind of what I did last weekend, only without the beautiful foot ballet and it took nearly half an hour. oh and it dint look QUITE as good at the end :innocent: :innocent: !  We both had to have a break!  It is good though - I don't fancy electric shears

the difference between horse clippers and shear clippers is that your fingers can slip between the gap in the blades on sheep ones. the amount of blood that creates is amazing  :innocent: :innocent:

I use these for dagging. They are superb for hand work on sheep or gardening.

 :thumbsup: the video of a sheep being shorn actually shows the man using both hands  ;D The site unfortunately doesn't make it clear on size ( length)  of the blades and if there are a variety of sizes available anyone know?

Good Evening

Thank you for all of the advice. The clip of a sheep being sheared is pretty useful and easy to follow. I'm planning on having a go this weekend. I'm hoping that they wont look to bad, fingers crossed.

Regards

Emily
