Shearing Competitions

The Nelson district shearing competitions were conducted at Mr K. A. Stringer's woolshed, Wairoa Valley, late last month. Teams from Young Farmers' Clubs took part in competitions in this class and later in the afternoon professional shearers competed in the open event. From these competitions a team was chosen to represent Nelson at a championship meeting at Ashburton.
