Doug Hamilton tips his cap to those applauding his skill at sheep shearing. He was most amiable, but looked like it was hard for him to stand up straight. That’s quite understandable when you are bent over holding on to the sheep and sheering. He once sheared over 200 sheep in one day. What a guy!

Doug Hamilton from Cedaredge was introduced as "a professional sheep shearer." Boy, you can say that again.
