Stories from the shearing sheds
Top shearers are elite athletes who these days set world records and travel the world with their skill. Shearing gangs are quintessential rural New Zealand, and in the course of a 10 or 12 hour day, with sweat dripping, they play a pivotal role in supplying a wonderful, renewable fibre for export and local use.
