Tex crosses are piece of pee. Today's were bigger and poorer necks. He's on high ground and his mules will be 80-90kg average easily and ready to go in the cull ring condition wise - raising twins... I would hate to see his feed bill!!
Tried the necks all ways. Not sure why they're so tight this year - his ewes are good shearing otherwise. I just spend my time wishing I was shearing more of my own ewes...

Squeezed 130 Welsh halfbreeds in this afternoon. They'd had rain last night and showers this morning, but were dry by 2pm so got it off the soft skinned monsters. They're definitely better to shear fat then they are lean.

Thought I'd finished shearing my flock last week. Driving down the hill towards the farm I spotted 3 white blobs in my landlords horse field that's knee high in buttercups.
Caught the escapees and sheared them today, the last one was the worst one I've done in the whole flock it just wanted to fight. Big Welsh shearling. Managed to twist my foot and am now limping painfully. Sprayed with a big C and it doesn't stand for cull.

Aye if the committee still want me to be.
Been a long couple of days, but it’s great to be back.
Think it was a successful day, good shearing and there was certainly an atmosphere and a buzz in the marquee

Hi All
I will be finished shearing at the end of this week. Is there anyone needing a hand for the rest of the season? I can travel anywhere but need accomodation. I can shear 200+ a day

Top man, I had to retire before I hit 400 on ewes, I've since done one every year until this year. I had done a 500 though but that didn't count as it didn't start with a 4

Well done, sweeter after trying for a few years, you don't look knackerd either
Did you buy 4 crates of beer !
I remember doing my first 400 i had to almost beg my mate to leave the last sheep in the pen, i told him i might not get an opportunity again but i did 406 the next day in 8 hours.
500 next target
