Wool around eyes

@Bruce
On the advice of my local farm group I bought a pair off ebay. They agreed they worked just as well aa the $400 one. Someone with the $400 one originally said that! I only have 3 sheep and 2 alpacas right now too, sobsilly to buy super expensive JUST yet. I can let you know about them if you'd like

The nicest guy ever came to shear her head

The heck with children....it takes a village to raise livestock too. Livestock loving friends are the BEST.

Please do! There were only the 3 reviews which to me is about the same as zero. One thing I did read about starting up shearing is that it is best to start with a 17 tooth or higher comb since you are less likely to nick the animal while you learn. Then go to the 13 tooth because it will cut faster.

I found this instructional page on shearing alpacas

So glad the guy came to shear her head!

G'day, note how the guy immobilized the sheep?you can undertake lots of chores from this position without you or the sheep being injured....T.O.R.
