Hi all,
Looking for a bit of advice please. Given we've only got 7 ewes needing done we decided to have a go with hand shears. Needless to say the sheep in question now looks like a fluffy cloud and the wool board would laugh at the fleece. Hey ho, we've all to start somewhere....
I've got a set of wolseley swift clippers for my horse. The most course blade I can get is the A7 which says its for cattle and is 3-4mm. The shearing blades are 4-5mm and seem to be a more rounded shape but unfortunately aren't suitable for my clippers. Has anyone used the cattle blades or am I barking up the wrong tree?
I'm going to caveat this with yes I realise it won't be easy and given it'll cost me more to drive the fleece to the wool board I'm not too bothered about it being done to 'standard', I'm just looking to part the sheep from the fleece!
The poor ewe is oddly now standing baaing at her fleece in a forlorn manner. I'm sure that can't be normal. I think she must be pretty mortified by her new doo!
Thank you for reading
