Hi Birkb,

Yes I will have a look and see when I can do, when in June is best for you?

Thanks,
Philip :sheep:

One more for Somerset (Wincanton) if you can fit me in?  10 Portlands (9 ewes and 1 Ram).  Conflicting advice on my lambs but I don't think they need doing this year as they were born late Jan?  Thoughts?

Hello Captain,

Should be able to fit you in all being well, as for your lambs they will be fine until next year.
Will pm you later with a price.

Thanks,
Philip  :sheep:

Hi Shawn,

Sadly no I don't have any jobs in Kent so at the moment I wouldn't be able to get, sorry.

Thanks,
Philip :sheep:

Hi there. As a newbie to shearing - ours were pre-done when we got the house (with the sheep last year) I wanted to make sure rather than wait to see if you had enough to come down so have gone for Adam as he is local. Thank you for the thread though. It is interesting.

Hi Shearling,

I would have come down but as it was a long way thought you wouldn't want to pay the travel cost so thought it would be best seeing if I could get a few jobs down there to bring the price down.

Glad you are sorted but if you need me for any reason then please get in touch.

Thanks,
Philip :sheep:

Hi Philip

Would you be able to squeeze in another 6 in Gloucestershire at some point? 

Thanks

Hi Philip
I have 4 dartmoor ewes, a mongrel hogget and a mad black ewe that may have a lot of welsh in her here on the border of Herts and Bedfordshire.  They have all been suffering from the heat in recent days and we were going to take the plunge and do them ourselves, in whatever fashion we can.  However, if you can fit us in you could be saving the poor things a very nasty experience.  Postcode AL5.
Thanks

Hen - should be no problem, I haven't got a firm date for when I'm coming down yet so will have to ring round the customers in that area but will keep you updated.

Daisy - If I can find enough customers within a reasonable travelling distance that want early shearing, I will come.
I'm waiting for some replies to emails so will be in touch as soon as possible.

birkb - Yes, I've got your email. June is good. Will contact you.
