To the right is a slide show of my recent trip to Masterton (about a 1.5 hour train ride north of Wellington) to see the Golden Shear Sheep Shearing Competition. I was impressed with how seriously the event organizers and competitors approached the competition. I knew sheep shearing was a serious business, but I didn't understand just how much fitness and practice it takes to properly and speedily sheer!
For those of you jealous about my recent trip to the "Golden Shears 2008"--the Southern hemisphere's premier sheep shearing competition, I have posted a brief video. This is a clip of the semi-final, senior shearing. There were 6 shearers, and they each had to shear 10 sheep. (TO COME SOON)
