I'm considering purchasing my own set of clippers to do my wee flock. I can run power out to where we're shearing so looking at mains powered ones. Before spending a big chunk (to me anyway!) if money, I'd be interested to hear about other people's experiences with different models. Any information, good and bad, is welcomed :-)

If only a wee flock why not save money and hand shear. Trafalgar are the best, did 60 sheep last year before they needed sharpening.

My joints aren't the best - I've done a little bit of hand shearing before and it took ages so think I need to be a bit realistic about how many I could do. I have 6 plus last year's hoggets.  Next year there will be even more! I daresay with practice I could get quicker but reckon I need to go electric.
