We only shear ours once a year then they get a belly and crutch in the autumn which keeps them cleaner through the winter. We used to shear twice a year but haven’t noticed any difference in performance since going back to once a year. We are a high hill farm on Exmoor so will be similar to your ground.What are peoples opinions on this? Do they need double shearing if they spend all their time on permanent pasture upland hill farm?
Considering NZ Romneys but I dont want to get into double shearing.
