Quick Shear 2024: A Day of Shearing, Shenanigans and Serious Fun

The 2024 Quick Shear for Bigga was nothing short of legendary, bringing together rural communities and adventurous competitors from all corners.

The highlight of the day? A nail-biting “Shearers Showdown” that had everyone on the edge of their seats. But it wasn’t just about shearing wool in record time—this was a day packed with plenty of fun. The kids were spoiled for choice with the giant inflatables, a pint-sized quick shear, free face painting and a magic show that ended the afternoon on a high note.

For the big “kids,” the Teams Challenge brought laughs and unexpected difficulty. Teams of three had to scarf down a plate of cheese and bacon balls, chug a drink and shear a sheep—turns out, it’s harder than you’d think (especially when your hands are behind your back trying to eat those balls!).

With Quick Shear 2024 now in the headlines, we can’t wait to top it next year, bringing even more wild fun and community spirit to the Upper Lachlan!
