[Jacob-list] Stanchion

[J Thomas]

I bought a shearing stand from Sydell's last year at
the MD festival. They have them in their on-line
catalog. For Jacobs (and Shetlands) get the shorter
headrest.  

I also use this for trimming hoofs.

It's not hard to shear. I did it last year with (yes
you may laugh) fiskars dressmaker shears. I bought a
hand shear and was too timid to use it. Maybe this
year. Sheep are great -- there's so much to learn!
