Today we have Arne back to help us crutch all the sheep. This means we are shearing the wool off around there buts and between their back legs. This helps them stay clean and avoid fly strike as the wether warms up.

Great job to get done. There was a time when the sale of crutchings would pay for shearing. Now days it doesn’t cover crutching.

Hi David, I haven’t realised it was ever high enough to cover the cost of shearing, I new it would cover clutching with some profit. With such a small amount it doesn’t even cover the file to take it to the wool buyer. Thanks from Geoffrey

I had no idea that sheep wool is a good mulch. Thanks for sharing 👍

Hi, the wool breaks down very slowly and is great for water retention. The dags act like a slow release fertiliser. A bit more washes out each time they get wet. Thanks from Geoffrey

You got lucky it's rare to get workers for our shearing shed.

Hi, there are still a few sheep in our district so there are a few shearer’s around. We did go for a few years finding it hard to get sheerest through. Thanks from Geoffrey
