December 10, 2004

December 10, 2004 -- The world record for lamb shearing has been smashed by a Reporoa man, reports New Zealand News.

Justin Bell managed to shear 851 lambs in nine hours ? 12 more than the record set in 2000 by Rodney Sutton.

The 30-year-old has been shearing for 11 years and has achieved 13 wins as well as the Golden Shears Competition in 1998.
