Where can I get battery Shearers from?
« on: March 30, 2014, 03:19:32 pm »
I have my sheep sheared yearly.

I'd like a pair of battery sheareres to do around their bums just to help stop the dreaded fly strike?

I have 2 new lambs and I'm worried with this nice warm weather and putting them out on the fields they might get caught.

I do dagg the older ones, but i'd like to go shorter around their behinds.

I have put click (small amount on the lambs)

just a bit nervous as 2 years ago one of the new lambs had fly strike-saved her just in time

have you considered hand shears? they are simple to use if kept sharp.
