    Shearing Contractor Insurance

    Well to be fair that is all I asked them for, apparently the insurers said for what I am doing need another one called care and handling. Going to pop to local brokers today see what they say. Just made me laugh they want three years experience but won't let you get the insurance to get experience.

    Shearing Contractor Insurance

    So just had H&H come back to me saying no one will insure me as they all want 3 years experience before they will insure.

    With that rocket fuel in them I doubt we would be able to pen them in.

    Shearing Contractor Insurance

    I think it is I will definitely be getting that just to be covered either way. Was really just curious if there was a specific shearing insurance or recommendations on companies to get prices from. The lady from H and H said there is a competence and care insurance which covers the animal that...

    I agree and with proper farmers I think they know the risk and wouldn't kick up much of a fuss. It is more these little pet flock owners as they are a lot more attached and maybe likely to take action.

    That is worth knowing I, hopefully the prices aren't to extortionate.

    Shearing Contractor Insurance

    I have asked all of the ones I have booked to bring the sheep in to fast. Hopefully they listen, they are only really small. 2 to 10 sheep so hopefully easy for them to do

    Shearing Contractor Insurance

    Yes it does to begin with but I am hoping to build it up to a full time thing so might be worth it in the long run. Hopefully it is a reasonable amount and I suppose at least I am covered. One of the people has said they can do short run policies just to cover the season which might cut the...

    Cheers spin, well that is what I have always thought but my better half is a bit more of a worrier about these things than me.

    Security cameras/ cctv recommendations

    You could beam the Internet over to a central building and then use WiFi from there to get it around the site. https://ui.com/uk/en/wifi/building-bridge The ubiquiti cameras are really good with a really easy to use App and you can just get the NVR and store all footage on site.

    Shearing Contractor Insurance

    All the ones I have dealt with have been spot on. I haven't got any insurance just house, car and Life. I have enquired with NFU who say it isn't really something they do if I haven't got other stuff to ensure and H&H which say they do public liability and a competenent care insurance which...

    Shearing Contractor Insurance

    So Agricultural Contractor insurance, my missus has pointed out that at the moment I am getting mostly pet flocks and worries if one keels over on me wouldn't be covered. I know with bigger flocks and proper farmers they know the risk and as long as no major cuts would probably let it go just...

    Shearing Contractor Insurance

    Hi All, I am picking up some shearing jobs of my own this year. So far only been small pet flocks but getting a fair few. Just wondering who everyone uses for insurance when shearing.
