Shepherd Hairdressing Farm labourers in the hills of Shropshire were growing

Shepherd Hairdressing
Farm labourers in the hills of Shropshire were growing their hair long, owing to dearth of barbers in their villages, until Joseph Williams, a shepherd of Clun Farm, volunteered to clip them with his sheep shears.
Williams, who tends 300 sheep, is an expert with the sheers and receives customers at the farm one hour weekly.
He makes a good job of the haircuts, each one taking 3 minutes. No charge is made for the service, but each customer makes a small gift, such as a bottle of beer, a few cigarettes etc.
