SUPPLIED Speed shearer Jack Fagan, 27, in action. But as one of Sir David Fagan's sons - New Zealand's most successful competition sheep shearer - the game runs in his blood. Excitedly, he recalled a cherished memory from last year's world championship speed shear in Wales. Fagan averages about 30 competitions a year plus 20 speed shears, with his most recent win being his 26th open speed shearing title.
