[QUOTE="kfpben, post: 7607890, member: 44296"] Even basic technologies have made things far more efficient now though. We are able to handle bigger numbers of stock with ease. Electric fencing Mobile handling systems Quads Wormers Cattle crushes etc etc have all made things an awful lot easier than our grandfathers would have experienced Before reliable fly control I imagine shearing was done three times a summer for ewes, twice for lambs, with hand shears! Keeping 100 ewes would have been a full time job. The really small units are hobbies. No shame in that at all by the way- variety is the spice of life! [/QUOTE]
