    Impressive! Despite the not ideal weather conditions, I'm simply amazed how you guys manage to keep pushing through in-between downpours of rain to get your sheep shorn, letalone doing it OUTSIDE! That's something I doubt I could ever do, as I'd probably go mad without having decent yards or a shelter to shear under (not without complaining that is).
    Well done!

    Just put yards and a roof up that you can take away again on rented ground if you need too. A longer lease definitely helps with doing that sort of thing too.

    Id go insane not having decent yards. But i have built 3 small woolsheds and yards on leased land out of recycled materials and not regretted it pays for itself straight away.

    3am, just home, met Joanne earlier this evening, initially didn't recognise her in her Glad Rags, also had a chat with Francesco. Having a cup of tae now ,then bed. I'll watch this tomorrow. You're right about the weather forecast this summer, totally wrong most of the time.

    Tell your Kiwi chum, and I hate to have to say it, but NZ lamb is the superior product. Always of consistent quality.
    Great to see the young lad already a very capable shearer.
    It’s a challenging year for most farmers and growers this year.

      Lambs from the mountains are hard to beat, especially mountains near the sea, Nutrition is high ( Omega 3 ) , organic mountain ground. It's been tested & proven, on high land cattle meat, around the hills of Great Britain 🤠. Foraging. Buy local ☘️ u are wat u eat

      @@caffrey9762 ah! Native breed cattle meat is the best, but at the risk of being deported, I don’t rate the Welsh Mountain meat here in Wales. They have to be tough and fatty to survive their harsh environment. However, my own lowland Lleyn meat was well received by the buyers and at the works. Just my opinion.
