I need help....couple things I am looking for but want the best for $

[arabianequine]

There are a few things but I can only remember 2 right now.

One is a pair of sheers....I have a long haired dog we shave every spring. I do have goats and I want them to work on both. Sheep too. I tried using hair shaver for people and it took two sessions of 2 hours each time and I only got half way done. This was on my dog and she is a small weiner dog.

The other thing is a food processor. I went to bed bath and beyond the other day and they did not have one under $100. The Cheapest one was at $100 and was plain boring looking.

I was wondering what you have or recommend. What would be my best brand device for my money?

Thank you in advance!

Food processor.
I hate walmart. But one year a family member got me a black & decker food processor. From WalMart. I think it was about $50 but I like it and use it at least twice a week. Sometimes just for chopping boiled eggs for the chickens

Can't help with the food processer, but the shears:

SHEARMASTER...

variable speed runs about $300 at jeffervetsupply.com with free shipping.

At work, we can shear an adult llama in 20 minutes with these shears! We also use them on big dogs, dwarf ponies, & sheep.

$300 seems like alot, but when you have big jobs...it's well worth the expense to be done quickly!!

Shears, don't know.
Food Processor, I got a Black and Decker for a wedding gift 25 years ago. We still use it all the time.

I would definitely spend some money on a GOOD pair of shears.
I was a dog groomer for quite a while and it is well worth the money to buy a good pair.
Make sure you have someone lined up that can sharpen your blades for a fair price... you will need it!!!

Can't necessarily recommend a good brand because I don't do sheep, but I would get some that were labeled for sheep use.

Good luck.

Food Processor???? don't have one.

Edited: JBWholesale is a good place to look in addition to Jeffers

As far as I know, they are everywhere. Even Walmart.
