Sheep Shearing Competition

The wrestling match was followed by a sheep shearing contest and afterward some dancing by the sheep-breeders and various members of the community (and not me, phew!). An award ceremony in which the best milkers, shearers and winners of a cheese-tasting contest were awarded cash prizes. It was an amusing and interesting day and I think the sheep-breeders enjoyed the events.

Pictured here are some sheep-breeders shearing as fast as they can. Awards were given based on both timing and artistic impression (I am not kidding).
