Girls can do anything!

At Waitomo today it was great to see this young female sheep shearer competing very well against the boys. As far as I could see she was doing a good job too! But then, I was brought up on a dairy farm, so what would I know….

Great NZ rural picture. Always looks easier than shearing an alpaca

Really.

Wow. Can't they just! Super image!

You have to be super strong to shear a sheep!

[Maggiemae]

This is a a great photo of this activity and you have got the light and the movement just right! fav

[Margaret Pengelly]

What a great action shot. Really like how the light is catching that strong muscular shoulder so necessary for a shearer. Fav.

[Margo]

Great action shot

[sally agnew]

Great to see :)

[Delwyn Barnett]

I like the thought that girls can do anything, but I bet she would have done it better, even if it wasn't faster than the guys!

[Lynne]

[Marnie]

I'm no expert, but have seen a lot of shearers and shearing and she looks to me like she's doing a pretty darned good clean job. Great to see some girls taking on the boys at these competitions
