sheep for wool

For the last two years I have not had sheep on our place and I miss them for a couple of reasons. One I love to
have my own wool and two I just love them. But in the past it has always been difficult to get someone to come
out and sheer them for me. I have tried myself but end up with way too many second cuts for a nice fleece.
Has anyone here on the list just let the wool go until it can be plucked like they do in some places in Europe ?
All my spinning friends that have sheep have many, so that they can get a someone to come to their place and
sheer professionally. But we are not close to any of these other farms and since we never have more than a
couple sheep, the sheerers will not come out.
Clippers are an expensive investment for someone like me, who doesn't know how to do it right. I clip goats
for goat shows but not sheep .
