Doug Laing: Shearing Sports says several records broken this year - The All Sport Breakfast

It’s the busiest time of year for sheep shearing sports as competitors fight to beat previous records. 

Megan Whitehead and Hannah McColl smashed both the women’s eight-hour solo and two-stand strong wool lamb records, shearing a total of 1,283 lambs.  

Doug Laing from Shearing Sports New Zealand says many rural kiwis are tallying their own shearing numbers on a regular day of work to see what they are capable of.
