Shearing Day Set-Up

Sheep need to be completely dry to shear. They should be kept off feed (including pasture) for at least 12 hours before shearing. They need to be enclosed in a small pen, small enough to be able to grab a sheep without chasing. In the most ideal set-up, I shear inside the pen, though I can pull sheep outside if there is help managing the gate. I will need power, a level 8’ x 8’ floor area, ceilings that are at least 8’ tall, and a wall or post for hanging my motor. Please provide a wood floor or 4’ x 6’ piece of. plywood or contact me ahead of time so that I can plan to bring plywood. Let me know if you have any questions about your set-up.
