Clipping Suffolk Sheep

Clipping Suffolk Sheep

Posted 16 Jul 2008

This year Howard has clipped 34 sheep with manual clippers. Each one is both physically-demanding and time-consuming when using manual clippers. Not only this but there is an increased risk of catching the skin of the sheep unless extremely careful when using manual clippers as opposed to electric ones. Sadly we were unable to actually show a clipping on the webcam this year as the ground is too mucky beneath the webcam so we used the camcorder to capture this one instead.

A very neat and tidy haircut Howard. Wish I knew how to spin the wool. I love how the other sheep examined your good work.
