Our Seasonal Shearing Yearly Schedule

(Adjusted as needed based on weather conditions, yearly predictions, and your locations)

📅 MAIN SHEARING SEASON: JULY TO DECEMBER

Our busiest period — peak workloads typically begin in July–August, ramping up to full swing by early Spring through to mid-Summer.

• Livestock must be dry — in case of storms or heavy rain, animals should be fully sheltered and dry for at least 12 hours prior to shearing.
• In extreme heat, livestock must be kept in shade or well-ventilated areas.
• The shearing area must be safe, level, and accessible to allow our team to work efficiently and safely.
• Early bookings are strongly recommended to secure your appointment dates.

We aim to make your shearing experience as smooth and stress-free as possible — for both you and your animals.

📅 OFF SHEARING SEASON: DECEMBER TO MARCH

Limited availability due to extreme heat and storm activity.

• Higher risk of heat stress and storm exposure.
• Increased costs due to off-season demand and additional safety measures.
• Only available at sites where animals can be held in well-shaded and ventilated areas.
• We may reschedule or decline bookings if conditions are unsuitable.

Please plan ahead and ensure your livestock have access to shade, airflow, and shelter before shearing during summer months.

📅 MID SHEARING SEASON: MARCH TO APRIL / JUNE

Restart workloads in Autumn, then gradually reduce into Winter Season.

• Shearing or crutching of pregnant ewes before lambing offers significant benefits for both the ewe and newborn lamb.

Just as the seasons have shifted more dramatically over the past years—becoming noticeably hotter—our shearing schedule has also evolved. The schedule above serves as a general yearly guideline. Our runs may be adjusted and re-adjusted based on yearly forecasts, local weather patterns, and regional conditions.
