Speed Shearing competition in TeKuiti, 30 November 2007. With current world record holders Rodney Sutton and Dion King and shearing legend David Fagan.
yeah another master shearer I got to work with was Keith Wilson, he shore an unofficial record at Waititi in mangakino of 871 which totally blows anything else outta the water that I know of. he ws the pacemaker and would push rod and nigel
@MrMataura hi.. you say kieth wilson is still working? do you have any video of him shearing in shed or any where at comps, or know of anyone that does.. he for me is the man. i saw him when he reached final of golden shears way back and was mesmerised by him. i also would like to get in contact with the legend. but am assuming that he is a very reserved fella.. can you get back to me on this.. i now in scotland.. ta very much.
worked with thse guys back for jeff dorset when him and Nigel were giong for the doubles hrrrm don't miss working with them ... like my cruisy old crew in Taupo now ... easy money and no blown out wrists but alas ... not much lamb shearing... least working with those guys thats all we did was the lambs hehehe
Sheep will actually go pretty limp when you get them on their backs in my experience and will let you do more or less whatever you want. They do get nicked sometimes when being shorn.
I can only imagine how stressed those sheep are being handled like that. Yes its fast, yes its over quick, but I can still imagine the heartbeat of the sheep.
organizers of this competition. Shame on you. have some pity on these animals. what if someone had to do this to you on your body? These participants are like animals themselves, treating the poor sheep with no sympathy.
Yo! I was taught by Dion King at the Tectra learners shearing course... true legend!

Sheep will mind-meld with whoever is shearing them. If you are relaxed and in control, then they will be as well.
All the time, but you have to admit this was kinda cool.

Shear all day,drink all night then root the rowzies.
@AndyChiuLol If a sheep is comfortable it usually doesn't struggle, they usually only struggle when their not held right and can't breath properly.
