Australia outclipped the world in a 17-nation sheep shearing contest in the championships held in Toowoomba (where do they get these names?)
The best shearers from champion nations Australia and New Zealand took on allcomers in the Golden Shears competition.
Shannon Warness from the town of Willalloka won his second Golden Shears trophy.
A total of 230 shearers raced for the championship which was judged, not only on speed, but also on lack of nicks. Top shearers can de-flock more than 200 sheep a day (zzzzzzzzzzzzz).
Shearers from countries other than Australia found it tough to handle the heavy neck wrinkles of Australia’s prize merino sheep.Gr8 stuff from the Aussie’s 8) U must b very proud Marty.
