[QUOTE="hendrebc, post: 8144654, member: 70166"] No. We used to get messed about a lot because we have a good sized shed under one roof so were always expected to have dry sheep at a minutes notice when everyone else had wet sheep. And then if they had wind of any dry sheep anywhere else they would go there instead and we'd have to turn them out again till there was no more dry sheep anywhere else. The one shearing contractor we had who was good gave up when I was 17 so I decided to do them myself. Quite a few friends who worked for shearing contractors and a couple of the contractors themselves at the time said it was too many to do myself (i got the impression they just wanted a good sized flock with a shed on their round for a rainy day...) one even turned up while I was shearing to ask when I wanted him to come and finish. So me being the stubborn bugger I am thought no f**k the lot of you I'm doing them and I've done them ever since 🖕🖕 Won't be any need shearing soon anyway. [/QUOTE]
