Episode 33 - Nikki Lyons on what it takes to Shear fast - Real fast

Nikki Lyons just set a record for shearing 502 Merino Lambs (unmulesed ones, mind you) in a 9-hour working block with breaks in between.Nikki outlines in detail what she went through on the day and the preparation she put in before the event.It's a real team game, and Nikki relies on those around her, so she can fully focus on her job at hand and what's in front of her handpiece.With all due respect to the general Shearers out there, this stuff that Nikki is doing is 5 levels above and some. It's the AFL or NRL of Shearing. It's Group 1 stuff.These next-level Shearers are fully blown athletes, and the preparation that goes into one of these record attempts will blow your mind. This is a fabulous interview with a very focused and determined Lady who is a real hero of the Shearing and Wool industries. I hope you enjoy.
