    Cordless clippers?

    Have a set of oster ones.  They are wonderful to clip hogs as there is no cord.  Good for horses but a bit loud.  For long term cattle clipping they don't have enough battery life or even cut.  They jsut don't cut as clean as corded clippers.  But love them to clip those pigs :)

    Hereford thoughts...

    Herfs Rock!  We have much respect for this breed as it is what our child started with 9 years ago and we haven't looked back since.  It IS the breed to watch at the moment.  We have learned much and with our small herd we do not have enough of them come selling time.  They are very easy to...
