It鈥檚 every professional sheep shearer鈥檚 dream to hold a world record for speed shearing. So says Una Cameron, who鈥檚 been shearing on the international circuit for the last thirty years. This summer she鈥檚 hoping to become one herself, by shearing more than 458 sheep in nine hours. It鈥檚 a gruelling physical challenge and she鈥檚 being coached by a specialist trainer who鈥檚 worked with ten shearing world record holders in recent years.

Caz Graham joins Una and her team as they shear a flock of ewes at Michael Kerr鈥檚 farm in East Lothian. She hears about Una鈥檚 life on the road as a shearer in New Zealand and Australia, the thrill of international shearing competitions, and the skill involved in cleanly removing a fleece from a reluctant sheep. She also finds out how the preparation鈥檚 going for this summer鈥檚 word record challenge.
