I'll sell you some sheddersAnyone else hate shearing there own sheep, trying to get my dry mules done yesterday afternoon almost broke me, 120 sheared, wormed and the wool rolled and load onto trailer.
Always trying.I'll sell you some shedders
It does but we tend to dry sheep on our own (expect one very large flock) because there’s not usually that many of them. On your own it never flows.I know the feeling- it seems never ending when you're working on your own. Chap that I shear with will come and do mine with me and then I'll go and do his with him. Always seems to go easier when there are 2 of you.
I know several shearers who keep shedders for their own flockAlways trying.
I've only ever shorn my own sheep on my own. Probably why I dislike the job so muchIt does but we tend to dry sheep on our own (expect one very large flock) because there’s not usually that many of them. On your own it never flows.
Horners had them in stock, arrived todayPretty sure I had one dropper like that , it came from George Mudge, he did manage to get a short gut for it so must be available.
Although on closer inspection they look like they’ve been around a while, and someone has had a go at them with a pair of pliers at some point, a bit disappointing for the moneyHorners had them in stock, arrived today
Quite the opposite!Anyone else hate shearing there own sheep, trying to get my dry mules done yesterday afternoon almost broke me, 120 sheared, wormed and the wool rolled and load onto trailer.
Sadly I’m trying to do 150-200 on my own and it’s not so relaxing.Quite the opposite!
As soon as the last cow has calved I move them out of the field next to the shed and let the ewes lambs and hogs into it. Do 15 or 20 at a time (I'm old and looking after my back) just shake a bag and enough charge into the shed to be done.
About 130 to do... I just plod along....it gives me something to do of an evening when it's cooler.
Me too. My dad sometimes comes to wrap the wool and fill pens it gets a bit depressing when you think your getting somewhere and the pen looks to be emptying but you get back up to go get another sheep and the pens are full again.Sadly I’m trying to do 150-200 on my own and it’s not so relaxing.
Shearing in Wales is so cheap, just get a contractor inMe too. My dad sometimes comes to wrap the wool and fill pens it gets a bit depressing when you think your getting somewhere and the pen looks to be emptying but you get back up to go get another sheep and the pens are full again.
