shearers for sheep and llama
Author: Helen Saville

I have Rambouillet, Shetland and Blue Faced Leicester sheep and one guard llama that I am going to shear.
Can you tell me what equipment would be best for these fine fleeces? I think I will go with the 3000 clipper as I am not experienced with shearing. I am confused about blades and heads and don't know what would work best.

The Premier 3000c (clipper head) would work well for you. It is easy to learn how to use; only one adjustment which is the blade tension.

For the sheep I would use either a Wizard 13L blade or a Premier Coarse blade. The Coarse blade will cut slightly closer to the skin (leaving less wool on the animal) than the Wizard. For the llama I would use the Coarse blades.
