Air operated foot clippers
Author: Wallace McCurdie

I am interested in hearing of any experience of air operated sheep foot clippers. After a lifetime of triming sheeps feet I have a very swollen and painful wrist. I hope to keep going for a good few years yet but need to find an easier way of doing it.
Premier Supplies is the first place I have seen any advertised, and would like to hear from anyone who has used one.

I am from Warwickshire England running 1000 Lleyn and Charollais ewes and 200 Herefords.

With as many ewes as you are running this is a tool that you should have.
Once you get use to the size and weight of the trimmer you will not go back
to the old way unless you need to trim 6 or less sheep.
The old way with the hand trimmers after a full day of trimming the next day you
can hardly move your fingers. With this tool you will be ready for another day of
trimming.
