My daughter is doing her first 4-h lamb this year. And its hot! I need to shear her but last time i sheared was 15 years ago and i dont remember how o and i gashed a 3-4 inch gash down my lambs side so i am a little resistant to do it my self. but all the shearers numbers the extension office gave me fell through. But they do have a pair of shears they will loan out. so here is my questions I read that if you use a 23 or 24 tooth cutter or/ slick shearer that is harder to cut the lambs and that even children can use it succecfully. is this true? also can you tell me anything that relates to shearing.... do's/ don'ts. and are the cutters interchangable or do they have to be for that model /make. also any one know where to get a cheap usable pair(under $100) if she decides to continue to do this?
Thanks for any info i appreciate every bit!!!
