Lawlor and Quinn were at war for a couple of days last week, think the war is over now, both quoting around €1.00 now.

Good luck getting 1.30 - 1 euro now leaving a slight profit at 2 euro for shearer. Got double for the wool last year to what i paid the shearer.

I bet you spent the day managing the operation? Not much there when you think about it that way!

Never make much out of wool here. Just one of those jobs that has to be done. Any Profit is an unexpected bonus. No disputing it's hard work but €3 is hard to justify, unless for small numbers or something like that.

€3. a head, tough work but come on... must be small numbers and tough sheep?

having sheds and to keep them in overnight is a major boon with us, shearer knows that we'll be ready to go as soon as he's here.
