Hey folks,
I'm looking into buying some electric clippers, if nothing else for crutching my ewes. I tried with the hand shears this spring and it was very hard. Took forever (like, 45 minutes per sheep) and in the end it barely did anything. I will typically have about a dozen ewes per year, by the way.
Anyhoo, I'm thinking of purchasing an economy brand - I KNOW, I should just invest in something decent, but the funds aren't there. At the same time I don't want to buy something that's guaranteed to break and therefore be a complete waste of money.
Seeing as I'm not looking for something to last for shearing an entire flock, do you think any of the models below might be okay? I don't know tons about wattage, volts, etc. beyond the basics.

Hopefully those links are allowed and give you an idea,
Thanks,

PS - can't wait to show you pics of my new Texel Ram which I'll be bringing home in a couple weeks!
