A great time was had by myself and many other shearers from across the USA at the National Sheep Shearing Championships during the Black Hills Stock Show in Rapid City SD. I have been wanting to attend this event for many years. I didn't expect to do very well as I have been shearing fewer sheep every year placing 7th out of 9.
The annual meeting of the American Sheep Shearers Council was held also and am happy to be re-elected as the Western Region Representative for the council.
Made this video today to show another shearer how to shear an alpaca with no help.
