well thats a good question.... first of all I was going to do the shearing course at Hadlow collage, just down the road, then I thought that I would offer one of my clients the same money as the course for them to show me how, my client has offices on the farm that we do all the flooring for but they still have 200 sheep.

I have mainly suffolks...the big ones lol...not sure if my back will hold out

why do you ask?

Just wondered if you were considering doing it yourself when the time comes and if you or any others would post on site how you/they get on.

We have been shearing ours for the last two years. They are small but not too tame. My husband holds them & I shear them. I have not managed more than 9 at a time as the shears are really heavy & make my hands vibrate. As you can see we are not very good but we are shearing for welfare. I would say ahve a go carefully & slowly
