Sheep shearing in the Scottish Borders

Stewart Runciman has got 750 sheep and sheep shearing season is on. He keeps his sheep and lambs in the fields above Stow in the Scottish Borders but takes them inside at Muir House farm to have their wool cut. Wool and fleeze was never a good business but with COVID-19 the price on wool has dropped and Stewart now loses up to 80p / sheep but it has to be done for animal welfair reasons. It is Carls' second season as sheep shearer and he and Craig work flat-out.
