Cattle clipping cost

[HasthorpeGrange]

What’s a reasonable price to charge for clipping 40 stores cattle, backs and tails?
Thanks for any replies

@Rossymons would I be right in thinking you used to clip cattle?

I did but was a little while ago. Only used to clip cattle for sales. Did the occasional bit for friends but that was mostly in exchange for a cooked breakfast and some beer which never saw out 24 hours.

Depends on the set up and if your getting a hand , would think 15 to 20 an hour would be achievable in reasonable going 2.5 hours work couple set blades to resharpen or it could be 5 hours work gates tied with twine and life threatening at all times need to find out before you go I would say

it’s a friends job he just asked me to give him a hand. He’s taking his crush so safe, my clippers and blades

We pay £10 per animal for clipping pre-slaughterhouse.

If its handy to you, for a friend, safe set up, just backs and tails and not a business proposition.
£1 each

Just charge an hourly rate simplest way.
