Slick Shearing

A young second season shearer who is sure to make his mark in the shearing arena is Willia Kapa, a member of Roy Baker's No.3 gang. Working at Cyril Binsted's property at Waerenga-o-kuri Willie got through 405 lambs in a 5am to 5pm stint. His tallies were 80,80,82,85 and 78. This is an average of 55 seconds per lamb. Not bad going for a newcomer to the shearing scene.

Miss Jackie Collings of the gang also caught the eye with her easy handling of the press which she had well under control.
