Our weather is so unpredictable up here - have snow in June sometimes. Most of the known shearers round here only want to do the large flocks, thats the problem. A local farmer says he will do ours, but like everyone, he is rushed off his feet with his own sheep, then he does someone else;s, and I end up at the back of the queue every year. One ewe has lost her wool when she lambed, so thats one less!!
