Hi All,

Yesterday I rooed my first sheep , it was a little Shetland that was determined that I wasn't going to shear it ( I think it had found some glue as the shears wouldn't go through the fleece)and since I had started I had to finish so it got plucked , the fleece had lifted and came off very easy.

I have also combed Yaks, Camaroon sheep, Dogs, Kerry cattle and almost Mangalitza pig, I have spun it all, oh and can't forget shearing Angora goats, I have also spun human hair.

Hi Phillip, so far theres 4 of us to share the travel. All small flocks within 2 miles of eachother! Do you do Alpaca? someone has 6 that will need doing but not until July I think. I would like to book you for the first week in June any day that suits, midweek probably better now! I will ring you this evening as I guess your busy today, thanks.

Did you read the post where Mummy had been out and upon her return the 5yr old told her a man had been and peeled the sheep

[Sharondp]

That was my eldest Wizard 

My three year old wants me to knit a jumper from the fleeces for them as he thinks they might be cold!!

Kids eh?!

Dixie,

I haven't done alpacas yet but should have by July as I have some to do near me. First week in June is looking a bit full but I will wait until I speak to you. I'm very busy at the moment and am out most days so you will probably only catch me in the evenings.


Wizard  -  I did the peeling!

S S With an imagination like mine "Do you use a peeler like my Granddad had Sort of 2 triangles with a big flat springy joint They were forged from the single piece of steel flat and you nipped the 2 bits of triangle together and the springy bits forced them apart?

Hi Wizard,

Yes I can use them but tend to use the electric shears as they are quicker so better for the sheep.

Hi All,

anyone wanting a shearer, we will be coming up on the A1 to scotch corner across to Penrith then up the M6 to Gretna on the 4th of July, anyone in this area with small/pet flocks if this is any use to you please contact either on here or contact me through my website www.singingshearer.co.uk.

Hope this is of some use to someone.

Thanks,
Philip

Don't know if this will interest anybody, I have added a new page to my site with details of where I'm doing shearing demonstrations and also when I'm covering specific areas in case anyone needs me on the way past. Not much on there at the moment but it will be added to as jobs come in.

Hello Philip I have been meaning to ask if you do the demo at Brocklesby Country Fair .I see its not on your diary so I will assume no is the answer. 

[SingingShearer]

Hi Wizard,

No, not me. Is it the Kiwi bloke with the stage on the back of his lorry and the "dancing sheep"? If so it's probably my mate Richard Savory or one of his teams from The Sheep Show.

We work with him at a few shows.

 

[Wizard]

Hello Philip Now you have told me thats his name.and he has his Dancing sheep there as well

[SingingShearer]

Hi Wizard,

Thought it would be him, if you see him say hello from his spinning team (The murmuring wheel from the bakewell show).
