We pride ourselves on bringing good honest reliable young men and women.... We are trying to get to everyone as quick as we can so dont hesitate to call again to book in a date. Safe holidays mick and Ian Elkins
19.01.2022 On this day in 2015, Chris the overgrown merino from Canberra set the world record for the heaviest fleece removed in one shearing. The poor fella underwent a r...isky shearing operation to remove 40.45 kilograms of wool! It took four-time Australian Shearing Championship winner Ian Elkins and four helpers 42 minutes to shear Chris! Thankfully, he recovered well and was soon adopted to a sanctuary in NSW. His impressive fleece now lives in the National Museum of Australia. : Supplied, RSPCA.

Heres some footage from last year I think the video is 12 minutes normal time. 50 degrees in the shed and very dusty alpacas. Chewed through 18 combs and 55 cutters.
