For Sheep Owners
Imagine looking AWI in the eye and saying “Yeh, I supported this new technology”.
And it only took him 8 years.
For individuals who are willing to have 1 last through of the dice with regards to innovation in the wool job, I am willing to do the work and can do it faster with your support.
The Cost / Price squeeze is tough. The industry norm is to rely on big business to innovate, but even they are innovate less.
There is talk of “initiative will over time translate to value” or “everyone needs to be singing from the same hymn sheet to espouse the value of Merino”. And most ag college graduates intend to pursue cropping after graduation. Long-term decline in wool production impacts directly on funding for research and development.
Not with the Shepherd Shearer. Quietly poking along with a battery operated, innovative and with a unique cutting system, no need for ongoing grinding of comb & cutters. Needing less energy to operate, it is quieter, easier to use, greatly reducing the chance of harming either the sheep or the shearer.
Shared Values
Mission and values that align with you and other supporters. Personal connection and the satisfaction of being part of a shared purpose-driven community.
Doing the Innovating for you
There is fulfilment in knowing that your support directly helps a local entrepreneur navigating the challenges and bringing the idea to fruition.
Being Part of the Future
Engaging with a business that using cutting-edge technology, part of shaping the future of wool and life in Australia.
I will get there one day, but support from individual wool growers would be great.
Not supporting this R&D leaves you with the present handpiece, stuck in a downward spiral of less people wanting to work with you.
When you support ‘Shepherd Shearer’, you are part of the future. You can show the next-door neighbours how committed you are (or how silly you are) to the shearing industry with a little faith to a back yard inventor. Either way, in the near future there will be a new handpiece.
