[Jacob-list] Sheep shearing question......

[Melanie Boxall]

I'm interested in this question too. My usual shearer has retired, and I
haven't found another one, it's August and my sheep still aren't sheared
(although they are shedding!). Luckily it's still not hot here, but I'm
toying with doing it myself. Looking forward to reading your replies.


Live Well. Laugh Often. Love Much.
