The only fella that’s clipped some here cakes them hard into spring and summer he said the other day they were poor going his will be a month ahead of ours
Half of ours yesterday were ok the other half where the gear chatters if you go too fast and easily cut
I shore some ewes the other night that where very bad going, one was almost unshearable, woman took it to market on Thursday and it made £1, I had to hid the fact that I’d shorn it.

PD ing cows atm looking at them I’m hoping these are empty. Drawn for culls so not sure what’s in them two of them are knee breakers
Finished shearing ours a couple days ago (late this year) turned them in here
I can only do a few at a time before my back starts to feel it and I am very slow but still another job done.

It would be an extravagance!!
Yep, I wouldn't mind betting that field has never had any, certainly not had any in the last 30 years, it used to be a stone quarry a couple hundred years ago
Be a waste
