Hi all, I have a set of Liscop clippers, Super 3000 model.
Has anyone on here bought a set of sheep shearing combs to suit these clippers, and if so, from where? Cheers, N.

Just the one, other ones were a V hard pull but cows were over conditioned, 20% calving difficulty isn't to be sniffed at, but the calves he's leaving tempt me otherwise.

OH phoned me earlier this morning (Iam an in Dublin upskilling) to let me know that Biddy the cow has e.coli mastitis again
Vet came this morning, treated her and left marbocyl, dexameth, oxytet and something else so we can continue to treat her. Hopefully she will pull though.

A friend of mine is in the army and From his account of things I don't think the army (or any structured job for that matter) would suit me.

I don't think any structured job suits farmers. We like being our own masters

Prefer spending the extra to be able to do them in the field. 1/2 hour and a walk through them. Dosing done!

Doing them with Zanil in the harvest though, suspect rumen fluke is rife in them.
