[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 8177789, member: 17508"] 130 Hoggs done today. Most were good shearing, some would have been better with another couple days of real heat - but none were too dry/sticky... The open necks and clear bellies were a bit too few and far between at times 🙄 Most were a nice size, nothing too big but the whole lot had a will to wriggle - typical hoggs, but my ones usually sit pretty well. Don't think they appreciated being in a shed with no water last night Neighbours son who is just learning to shear I'm half teaching/watching over - I'd guess doing 10-12 per hour, his dad who isn't a great shearer (in very good sheep I can do 2-2.5 ewes to his 1, but I wasn't at that pace today) and me... wish I had my tally counter so I knew how many I was doing myself, but between the 3 of us we were doing around 60 an hour. 290 done last 2 days. Not sure if I'll get many more this week, it's wet today and forecast for tomorrow and Friday isn't looking good [/QUOTE]
