Covid-19: Golden Shears cancelled for the first time

From Morning Report, 8:58 am on 1 March 2021

The Golden Shears championship has been cancelled for the first time in its 61 year history.

Following the changes to Alert levels, the organisers say they had no other option, leaving 3500 sheep in need of a haircut.

Sam Saunders is the President of the Golden Shears Championship.
