    Dog attack again..

    Shearing

    I remember when I started someone said that the price of shearing used to be the same as the cost of a pint in the pub! I have been shearing 30 years this season and it's never been enough to buy a pint! Pint of milk possibly 😂

    Shearing

    This season I have put the price up by £0.10 per sheep regardless if it's 200 or several thousand. In order to pay my guys a little more and try and cover the massive increase in fuel costs. So I answer to the question I would be between £1.55 and £1.75 this would be for 3 shearers and a wool...
