Thank you [member=3444]bazzais[/member] I tend to feel that I should just know all these things rather than be posting so much. But if I tried to learn everything before getting started I would never get started! I wanted to raise our own animals to know that they had a good life and death, we home slaughter the chickens so we can do that, but we will be trusting in the abattoir for other meats. I figure if I keep asking I can keep ensuring we really are doing our best for the animals.
Ok so I'll message the wool board about a hand shearing course and add my voice to the mix. I'm also message the Two Stand Blade Gang and see if they are doing a course (It's funny you should mention them [member=35697]ronnie newbie[/member] , they did our girls).
And I'll have a go at rooing the two sheep that were done over and under, if I can get them to stand with a halter....
