My biggest issue is getting help when Shearer's turn up , you never can say for certain which day they will come so you can't reliably tell anyone for certain which day or days you need them , last yr I shoved ewes up the race and Wife slung the fleece in big heap ( 3 Shearer's) had 4 stops , few days later I went scooped all heaps up with loader into corn trailer and tipped in a heap in a wood , same will happen this yr ,
You animal I “wrapped” my own wool last year and I could only just keep 2 wrapped and there pens filled… and my lads I get in like a brew and a natter every 5 sheepI have to admit to having become lazy in recent years. If I have three shearers coming, I ask them to bring a roller with them to help (at extra cost obviously). I used to keep up on my own penning for three and rolling/packing fleeces, but getting to be harder work on the joints these days.
Do your shearing gang know anyone they could bring along for the day for an hourly rate?

I've asked in the past but I think they struggle to keep anyone whos able to keep pace with three of them day in , day out , it is a dam chore that gets even worse with age , I'm afraid I've got to the point of taking the route of least resistance, if wool was the price of fert , yes , I'd be taking a far different approach to dealing with itI have to admit to having become lazy in recent years.

We are getting a lot of interest in Cheviot for clothing manufacturing as it has volume and bounceIs there British wool which compares to Merino in quality and consistency?

You claim too be a sh1t kicking redneck. Yet you persist in using words i havnt a clue the meaning of!!!Do you foresee antipodean style grading of raw fleeces in the shearing sheds
NZ/Australia are the antipodes. So antipodean means of that regionYou claim too be a sh1t kicking redneck. Yet you persist in using words i havnt a clue the meaning of!!!
I always pay extra to have a wool wrapper. That way I can push up sheep and fetch drinks food etc. I also keep an eye on the shearers.
I've not wrapped wool the 'old fashioned way' for a decade or so, although I know plenty that still do it like Dad showed them years ago. I'm sure BWMB issued some guidance on how they want it presented back along, but haven't seen it recently.
I just flick the sides in, roll it up and put it in the bag. Takes seconds.
