King Country shearer Sacha Bond has taken out a world record by becoming the first woman to shear more than 700 sheep in a nine-hour day.
Bond smashed the current record of 661 with a total of 720 at Centre Hill in Southland on Tuesday.
Shearing a lamb every 45 seconds, she also became the first woman to shear 700 sheep in a day.
I wonder how your back is after 9 hours of shearing…
There’s a video of her doing the record on youtube. I can’t imagine being bent over at the waist like that and shearing 700 sheep! Must feel insane to finally straigten up after that
