My shearing calendar is somewhat loosely organized. I shear my way around beginning in Northern California March, ending in Wyoming at the end of the summer. I have my shearing list of clients I work from scheduling (in "scheduling" I'm talking about nailing down date and time) as far out as 2 weeks at a time. My shearing schedule gets bumped around due to weather so often times I'm forced to re-schedule people. If it rains on your scheduled day, we re-schedule. I don't leave and area and move on to the next area until everyone is done....so don't worry about the weather, I won't leave you in the lurch. I can tollerate a little rain, showers are OK, downpour days are too messy, if temps are up around or over 100 degrees I might tip right over so we adjust timing for that event. I used to schedule further out than 2 weeks but ended up spending all my time on the phone trying to re-connect with people to re-schedule so that turned out to be a futile exercise.
As time draws nearer to your area I'm more able to give you a close estimate of when I'll be in your area. Feel free to call me to ask "when" especially if you have plans. I can usually work around your schedule, we can work it out, you are not bothering me:)
