Have you spent a day in a shearing shed?
Feature writer Richard Walker recently stopped in to see how shearers are faring this year.
Lachlan Foote stretches out on the wooden floor, right where he was standing. It’s 11.30, the end of a morning in the shearing shed and it’s time to recover. The fingers on his left hand are covered in plasters; his back’s giving him gyp. His day started at ten to 6 with a 45 minute drive from Whatawhata to Te Akau; he will make the return trip when he and the three other shearers hang up their combs at 5pm, and when he’s home he’ll clean up his gear before doing it all again tomorrow.
