A sprightly Southland shearer has today smashed a women’s world record by clipping 661 lambs in nine hours in a woolshed near Gore.
Tipping the scales at just 60kg, standing just 1.7m tall and shearing and despatching the average 34-36kg lambs at an average of less than 50 seconds each, 24-year-old Megan Whitehead was chasing the previous record of 644 set in 2007 by Waikato shearer Emily Welch.

As she closed in on 5pm the crowd in the shearing shed chanted “Megan, Megan, Megan” and gave her a standing ovation as the last shorn lamb went down the chute. She gave her father, Quinton, a big hug after putting down the handpiece. He s been with her all day supporting her. Jills Angus Burney, who set the original record of 541 lambs in January 1989, and later set a further record shearing 614 has been in Gore watching Whitehead’s attempt. She hosted Whitehead when she set the four-stand women’s world record of 2066 lambs in 2020. She ll smash it, Angus Burney said at the afternoon tea break.
