Shearing in Aberdeenshire
« on: May 06, 2014, 11:00:06 pm »
Does anyone know who I can contact to shear my 2 Zwartble cross castrated sheep in the Aberdeenshire area? It will be their first shearing. One is very friendly, the other a bit nervous. Both come to bucket. Should I have any treatments done first or wait til after the shearing? How do I keep the wool in good condition to send away for cleaning to get something made from it? Also, how do I pack it and send it? Does anyone know how much it is to shear 2 and if the guy will come to me or if I should transport them to him?  ;D
