The Shearing Season
Since he set up as a freelance farm worker in Suffolk half a lifetime ago
Richard Seabrook 's surest earnings have been from shearing sheep on contract. The gangs he has got together have become part of the folklore of East Anglia. For eight weeks they work all the hours of daylight, visit 100 farms, shear 20,000 sheep and make between them a total of around £9,000.
