Newtownstewart YFC recently held their very first speed shear since 2000 at Beatties’ Pedigree Centre.

As a club they would like to thank everyone involved who made the event such a success.

A huge thanks must go to the competition judges, commentators, competitors who travelled from far and wide, score keepers, NISSA for supplying the equipment, the Clarke family for supplying the lambs and to Frazer Caldwell and Dean Laughlin for crutching the lambs.

Also to all men who helped directing and parking cars.
