I started as a woolhandler in 1977 we still had straw brooms lol.I then started??blade shearing??for Donny Hammond in 1979 for 12 seasons pre lamb used to go from May till November in the 70s and eightys.In 1995 I attended Lincoln University to attain my Certificate In Wool and my P stencil yah.I then went wool handling for Donny and learnt to class through Nig Gloag my good friend and mentor.Nig sent me out to do sheds on my own and my first shed was Omarama Stn hoggets?? Tim Wardell gave me my first break into wool classing by hiring me.I got a great result and always enjoyed working for Dick and Tim Wardell.Nig had a heart attack and I got to class Brooksdale Stn, Ben Dhu,Glenbrook Awarakino.I got another good break when Kevin Waldron got me to class??Taieri Lake Stn and Castle Hill in the Middlemarch region.John and Ellen Catherwood had just purchased Taieri Lake Stn??. John had high expetations and a very even clip..Kevin Waldron??taught me heaps and keep me on my toes, as Taieri lake was on the main highway.I classed Taieri lake for 7 years and enjoyed John, Ellen and their childrens company.I also classed Glentanner Stn for Ross and Helen Ivey for 8 years.Ross was great to work for and grew great merino wool I also classed Waikoria??Stn for Murray Elliot for 7 years.Murrays Father Bob always came for pre lamb and I enjoyed having Bob in the shed??Bob checking out??my lines.We always had a drink before tea??.Donald Ramsey from Castle Hill is a top wool grower and Farmer??and has built a brand new shed which?? is so cool to?? work in and his wife Mary is a great part of the team ive been going to Donalds since about 1998??I??feel so privliged to have worked on aIl these properties. I very much enjoy the challenge of clip preperation and working with the woolhandlers.At the moment I class Castle Hill, Ben Ledi, Mt Alexandar and have two other sheds in the pipeline.If you know of any one looking for a classer im very interested.I dont mind travelling or being away Brent Cole D1723
