What comb do you recomend for a romney x dorset cross? How many combs and cutters should I have on hand for 6 sheep?

I would use the Spirit comb, which is a 13 tooth "straight" - that means it doesn't have a flare on either side. How many you will need depends on many things - your experience, how dirty they are, etc. However I would think one comb and two cutters would be suficient. If you are new to shearing (will go slower) then I recommend 2 combs and 4 cutters to be on the safe side.
