Hello, shearer available for pet sheep/small numbers (due to general weakness/lack of fitness so if you have twenty "pet" Charollais rams call someone else!) Aberaeron/Synod Inn area. PM Me if interested

Some con man sold me a half dozen wooly sheep. . . . . . . and now I realise I need a shearer. . . . . . .

Awfully complicated this wool stuff.  :innocent:

Does anyone know of a shearer in Warwickshire who will shear 11 pet sheep - hand-shearing preferred.  I,m too slow with my scissors! :innocent:

By hand shearing, do you mean with hand shears, rather than electric hand piece? Just wondered why you'd prefer that?

What a ba$t@rd. Do you know where he lives???

Next time I'm over your way I will bring a little lister, I doubt you even own shears!

I do, but i'm staying well clear. . . . . every time I go and see him, it costs me money. Although he does always offer to feed me.

Of course I don't own shears, I have those 'magic sheep' remember.

Hi Porterlauren - yes I meant non-electric.  2 of my sheep are getting on a bit and get very stressed due to a bad experience at one shearing time.

Hi Maureen, if they are very old and you don't want to turn them, shear them with electric stood up and leave the bellies?
