Shearer breaks two day old world record

From Morning Report, 8:44 am on 23 December 2022

Don't tell Jack Fagan the festive season is a time to relax.

The Te Kuiti shearer has broken a world record for strong-wool lamb shearing - completing a total of 754 lambs in eight hours at Pukeiti Station.

Remarkably, the feat came just two days after another New Zealander - Reuben Alabaster - had smashed the same 10-year-old record, on Tuesday this week.

Fagan spoke to Charlotte Cook.
