Hi James, I can't justify driving up just for yours, if there was enough interest from other TASers along the Welsh coast from Me to you I would happily do a little road trip. Otherwise sadly most of the £150 would go through the truck. Its a double shame as I'm picking up a new shearing pen today and want to try it out  :thumbsup:

For our big day (in the region of 1100 ewes, we pay 90p/sheep, plus £10/hr for an assistant to roll wool, stitch and label bags etc.  They charge double for tups.  That will be next week.

I wanted my Kerry Hills done sooner for showing, and the shetlands were done at the same time as they live together, the gang we get for the big day won't come for that number (about 40) so I got someone more local, he charged £2/sheep.
