Hi there,
I am looking for a shearer of a small flock of 4 that covers North Buckinghamshire area or willing to come this way.

I've had one lined up since Feb ( or so I thought) but now not responding to my calls/messages  to set an exact date in May.

My sheep are 2 Ryelands & 2 GFD's
Anyone help or have a contact ?

Please pm any details

Many thanks

Can't help I'm afraid but wonder are your sheep very tame being only four? Could you not do a hand shear yourself just for welfare reasons at this time of year (flystrike)? I'm just about to have Michael Churchouse come shear mine as my usual shearer isn't available. He's travelling a fair way but I have 70+. Will report back

It would be a long way for me to travel for only 4 sheep. If you have any friends or neighbours that have sheep, they could be done on the same day and cost would be split.

It is possible to hand shear the GFD with them standing up, working from the top and letting it fall away in chunks!  Completely unorthodox and a bit tatty but at least it keeps them safe - and you won't be wanting to use the fleece for hand spinning

I've used singing shearer and mike Churchhouse in the past for my small flock of GFD and Shetlands. Both were great.

Its worth contacting the Singing Shearer on here. I am on his list for this year and I am in Towcester
