World sheep shearing record broken

From Summer Times, 9:18 am on 6 January 2023

A 20-year old world record for sheep shearing was finally broken this week in a Central North Island woolshed. Simon Goss and Jamie Skiffington have shorn a combined 1410 lambs in eight hours, breaking the record set two decades ago by another New Zealand pair.
