My issue is that I can't shear my sheep when it's this cold, they would die but on the other hand they need clipping as they have started growing next years fleece.

Is it not possible to carry out the shearing inside a barn/shed ?when my family had our farm on Salisbury Plain we had 4 or 5,000 sheep and they would be bought in and sheared in one of our large overwinter barns that would normally house calves
if the weather was inclement, :smiley:. Worked on the L200 today but no joy she wont play ball :sad:

Post by: lambert on May 10, 2012, 05:31:31: I know, I have no shortage of work but none of it is what I aught to be doing or if it is it's taking twice as long in the wet.
