I am not looking to do too many more more but do have space for a few extra customers.

Regards

When are you coming down to devon?  I have a flock of 12 Ryelands that will need shearing.  Do you also do show trimming?  I have 3 Ryelands that'll need that in the next month or so.

Dear Worzel

yes i agree it is early to be shearing and there is no need to panic yet like some people are.

I am only shearing sheep that have no lambs therefore are in good condition and will cope with the odd cold night.

Meant to say ours lambed 2/3 weeks ago, so not sure when shearing should/could be done.

I have five Shetlands and three Ouessants but no electricity on my land, though I do have a generator (don't know whether it's up to the job though) I am at Bickington if you could fit me in :)

Hi WG we are getting ours done end of May. We are in a microclimate on the South West coast in Somerset. The reason is it seems about right and past experience of others in the area.

Hi Sylvia

I don't need electric as i have a 12v system.

Prehaps you could give me a ring to discuss
