Tools of the trade...

Monday again.
Shearers here at 7.30 ready to start next door. Finished over there by 4pm then flitted over here and knocked off another 100 by 6pm. The young lad was mumping because we ran out of sheep and he only needed 14 more to reach his days target of 300.
The hill shepherd away with my quad again as he has managed to wreck the front wishbone on his. More expense.
Managed to take down the final fence ready for the tree fellers (I'm sure there is a joke in there somewhere ! ) Also managed to skelp my thumb in the process,which is now going a nice shade of black. Another one to add to the collection.
These old staples took a bit of getting out as the stobs are at least 40 years old and oak,and as hard as.
