Clean
Clean shearing and a tidy board. Fleeces are picked up and skirted as they come off, and the shed gets swept before we pack up.
Local
Home base is Waipawa, and the crew works the sheds of Central Hawke's Bay. Brandon answers the phone himself.
Affordable
Ring Brandon with your sheep numbers and timing, and he'll give you a straight price before the crew turns up.

What we do

  • Shearing

    Mainshear, second shear, ewes, lambs and rams.

  • Crutching and dagging

    Between shears, whenever the flock needs it.

  • Shed hands

    Woolhandlers on the board and at the table, so every fleece is picked up, skirted and sorted.

  • The whole crew

    Shearers and shed hands together. One call to Brandon books the lot.
