Shetland sheep shearing
« on: June 16, 2015, 09:54:34 am »
I have four shetlands and i am based in the barnstaple area, i desperately need a shearer, i have tried the local farmer but he came when i was on holiday and was unable to catch them....long story lol. I have contacted a local guy but now his number is unobtainable, is there anyone who can help, i dont need a perfect fleece job, i just need them sheared, if any one can help i would be so happy. Thanks. Yes i am new to smallholding.

Are you a member of DASH?  (Devon Association of Smallholders)
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
