Hi Dixie,

Thanks, on average sheep 15 to 20 an hour so yours shuld be no problem.

Feel free to ring anytime, although you might not get me (I should be in the house after 6pm)

Thanks for passing my name round, the more jobs in one area the cheaper the travel cost to each customer,

Thanks again,
Philip :sheep:

Hello

I live on the border between scotland and england close to gretna green.  I have 15 texels for shearing this year.  Would you be interested in that work or would it be to far ?  I will email you separately regarding costs/dates etc if you are interested.

Thank you.

Hi Birkb,

I'm certainly interested. I think the best thing to do would be to see if I we can find anyone else in your area who might need a shearer, if you know of anyone please pass my name on.
 
I can come up as a one off but as I have told other people it costs less if I can spread the travel expenses over a few jobs.

Feel free to email me, the address is on my website. I had an enquiry from someone near you last year who also had Texels, it wasn't you was it?

Thanks,
Philip :sheep:

Hi dixie,

No problem, would the Sunday the 27th of June be any good to you?

Will wait and see what you all think.

Thanks,

Hi Dixie,

Are there any dates in May that would be alright for you? I have the 11th, 12th, 14th, 21st,  23rd and maybe the 29th free at the moment but am taking bookings all the time so don't know how long they will be free for.

Hope this is ok for you, it gives you a few dates to discuss with the others.

Thanks,
Philip :sheep:

Hi Spikey,

Chew all you like, will have my family in so you can chew their ears as well.

Could you pm me your address and let me know any landmarks to look out for please.

As I have said to another customer, pick my brains all you like, there's not much to pick ;D.

Thanks,
Philip :sheep:

Hi Spikey,

No problem, used to shearing in front of an audience as I have sheared at a few open farms with the public coming round.

See you Sunday.

Thanks,
