Jenny, I just sheared my last two ewes today with hand blade shears. I am fond of non-electric, and I don’t have many sheep to do(5) so off came the wool. Your little ditty made me smile. How did you get that sheep to pose for all those drawings?LOL
Hi Tari, So nice to hear from you!!! I own a couple pair of hand shears, but have never used them!!! I began shearing my own Shetlands, then ‘adopted’ a few Corriedales and North Country Cheviots and found them too HUGE to handle…so I’ve since ‘hired’ a professional sheep-shearer. I’ve reduced my flock (just Shetlands now) and I still do a few sheepies myself, from sheep to sweater! LOL Jen
