[Jacob-list] Jacob-list Digest, Vol 124, Issue 5

[Ron Shaffer]

Hi, Dora,
We use Heninger, the ones made in Switzerland.  There's a brand made in the US, but we had read reviews about the Swiss were better quality.  We have had the same shear for over 8 yrs.  We use Premier for sharpening the blades and combs.  Ours are heavily used between the Jacob sheep and Angora goats.
