Hi Andy,

Yes I can come to Kent, I would have to try and find some more jobs down there to make travel cost realistic, how many sheep have you got?

Sandy,

Thanks, I might try to do a video with a shearing song in the background, will have to have a think ;D.

I only have 29, and might be 27 if these two are not in lamb !!  I think I am sorted with the shearing just wondered if you came down this way and it would have been a back up for me lol, how many sheep would you call a days work?

Hi Andy,

Glad you're sorted, if you do get stuck then let me know.
A full days work depending on the travel between jobs would be four to five small flocks or a single flock of a hundred plus.

Thanks,

Hi Andy,

My back has got used to being in a strange position all day it is only bad at the start of the season.
As for a hundred I should get to two hundred this year quite easily ;D, that's if I get enough jobs of that size.

Thanks,
Philip :sheep:

We will try to find time in April if that suits you, I know last year we came on the 25th, as that will be close to Easter is earlier better? Or otherwise after Easter, we are in no rush as April isn't too busy, email might be better.

Thanks,
Philip :sheep:
