Pictures from the sheep shearing and wool handling competitions at Balmoral Show 2023

There was a fantastic number of entries across all sheep shearing and wool handling classes at this year's Balmoral Show.

You can find the full results here from all four days.

The sheep shearing committee wishes to express its thanks to Lister Shearing for the provision of shearing machines, equipment and technical assistance, shearing vests and t-shirts for all competitors for the duration of the show. Thanks are extended to all who provided, housed, crutched, transported sheep in preparation for the competitions.

Thanks also to all judges, section stewards, officials, commentators and IT support. A special thank you to Mrs Norma Hoy for presenting a trophy in memory of Mr Walter Hoy who is greatly missed by the shearing committee.

And, finally, thank you to all the sponsors for their support of the shearing and wool handling at Balmoral.

The committee looks forward to welcoming everyone back to Balmoral in 2024.
