2025 Speed Shear Competition
Saturday 29th November | Shearing Comp starts 2pm
Ever seen sheep being shorn in a front bar? Now's your chance.
After the wool-slinging madness of 2023 and 2024, we're bringing the heat once again – with shearers from across Australia and New Zealand going head-to-head in a high-speed, high-skill showdown.
In previous years, more than 50 shearers have taken part in Open and Intermediate divisions, competing on stage in the front bar of the South Eastern. With over $10,000 in prize money up for grabs – thanks to generous local businesses and partners – it's a thrilling contest where the fastest hands take the win, and the crowd gets a front-row seat to the action.
Expect impressive shearer skill, country hospitality, and a front bar buzzing with atmosphere.
Shearing competition starts at 2.00pm.
Mark your calendar and come see what all the buzz is about.
