Which clippers to buy
Author: JOEY

Here is our situation:

We have several different sets of clipper/shearers for several different 4H projects. Keeping up with the blades, maintenance, etc. has gotten to be a real headache.
What I would like to do is sell off several of the other sets on Ebay or to other 4H members and consolidate down to one set which will meet the needs of several projects.

Our clipping/shearing needs include:

Slick-shearing 1-2 show lambs 3-4 times a year
Shearing one breeder ewe and 3 miniature sheep in full fleece once each spring
Blocking and fitting several goats and a dairy cow for 2-3 shows per year

Can you recommend a unit which would meet thses needs?

Thanks

I recommend the Premier 3000c. You would want to use a Surgical or Fine blade for the slick shearing, a Merlin 13L for the general shearing and a Merlin 20S for the blocking/fitting (any off-skin use). The dairy cow can make use of the Surgical blade for her udder and the Fine for head etc.
