Sports Shear TAS
Sports Shearing is a fantastic spectator sport — exciting, stimulating and a real eye opener for those who have spent many hours around shearing sheds as well as our city cousins
This year at Agfest Sport Shear Tasmania (SST) will be staging a major Shearing and Wool Handling event.
SST aims to promote and illustrate the professionalism of shearers and wool handlers. The competitions encourage just that; pride and enthusiasm as well as the fun and friendships any sporting event develop.
SST aims to improve skills and bridge some of the gaps currently apparent in the industry by educating, supporting young people involved in the profession.
The Tasmanian shearing industry’s future depends on well trained, efficient and motivated shearers and wool handlers with pride in their work. The value of a farmers clip can only be enhanced by skilled shearers and shed staff at harvest time.
Did you know that SST’s Shearing and Wool Handling Team (two shearers, two wool handlers, two judges, a blade shearer and team manager) are the current National Teams Champions?
