Golden Shears

The World's premier Shearing and Wool handling Championships takes place in New Zealand's Wairarapa district during 28 - 29 Feb. & 01 Mar. 2008.

From the dreams and inspirations of a few enthusiastic young farmers many years ago, the greatest shearing competition was born.

Starting in 1961, through years of fierce, uncompromising annual competitions, the Golden Shears name has become an icon of the shearing and wool handling industry.

The Golden Shears logo has become an internationally recognised trade-mark that symbolises both quality and excellence in the skillful art of shearing and wool handling.

The three day event shall encompass novice, junior, intermediate, senior and open shearing competitions along with junior, senior and open wool handling events, also the pairs & singles wool pressing competitions and the triathlon award.
