This afternoon I have been sheep shearing. I wanted to learn how to shear my own sheep this year, and one of my farmer friends Ken Bell had offered to show me how, today was the day for the lesson.
It was hands on training, he talked me through it and I got on with it, with a bit of help - keeping the sheep in the right place was the hardest part! I was also very worried that I might cut them.
All three sheep are now sheared and I am quite pleased with the results even if I do say so myself. Ken also thought I had done a good job for my first attempt; I don't think I will be offering my services out mind you.

Well done Debbie,you looked like you did a good job. Is there anything you can,t do.Glad you all enjoyed your day at the seaside.xx
We are very impressed! Carl says sheep shearing is way harder than alpacas and ours wriggled all over the place - they only now are beginning to look like sheep again!
Well done!
I was taught by the Wool Board to shear my sheep, but I don't do it now after I ended up riding a sheep, backwards, down the shearing shed!!!!
Well done for having a go
