PHOTO: BEN ANDREWSPreparation to break a shearing world record has been good for Gore shearer Megan Whitehead, father Quentin says. Tomorrow she will attempt to take the eight-hour individual women’s strong wool lamb shearing world record title. At the same time, she and cousin Hannah McCull will attempt to break the eight-hour women’s two-stand strong wool lamb shearing world record. "It’s mainly for getting the gear sorted because the South Island lambs will shear different to the North Island lambs." The record attempt will take place at brothers Robert and Cameron Grant’s woolshed.
