Shearing Competition: 25th Annual Lambtown, USA Festival: October 1, 2011

The Shearing competition at Lambtown has been one of the most popular events. In this competition, shearers compete to shear a group of sheep in the fastest time. However, they are also judged for the quality of the shearing; points are lost for nicking the skin or for second cuts. Competitors in this year's contest come from as far as Oregon and even New Zealand.

This is the man to beat! Chris Cornet has won the shearing Competition in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004,2006, 2008 and 2010.

This huge wool pile shows how much wool can be shorn off 100 sheep in just 2 hours. Competition shearers can remove all of the wool from a sheep in under 1 minute.
