shearing


June is round the corner

A busy time of year

With little chance of frost at night

And many sheep to shear

Looking for machine oil

To keep shear blades dandy

In the junkyard of the byre

For things that come in handy

.

The dagging shears with rusty blades

Electric clippers stuck

A few choice words of wisdom

Will start them with some luck

The sheep line up in terror

As enthusiasm fades

All except the first two

Will need iodine first aid

.

The shear line becomes blurred

The back begins to ache

Not employing shearers

Has been a big mistake

A hot bath awaits you

To ease labours of the croft

Lanolin smell pervades the house

The day your hands are soft

  1. All different metals can be used such as steel, galvanized, bronze, brass, copper, stainless steel, aluminum, and Carbon Plate. Rail Breaker Blades, Scrap Shear Blades and Shear Blades are not only used for cutting metals. They are also often used to cut different types, or shaping sheets of plastic.

    There are different types of sheetmetal shears. There are small hand-held units to massive floor-mounted models.
