Although a tilt at a Golden Shears open has
eluded him he was accorded Master Shearer status in 1986 and featured in a world
three-stand ewe- shearing record in 1989.He has been a New Zealand team manager
and was a judge at the 2008 World Championships in Norway.He said these were
highlights but there may be more to come."I've been lucky enough to be chosen to
manage a team to go to Ireland, in May."The former instructor has some advice
for those starting out in their careers."Get on a Tectra course. Get a bit of an
education. [And] get a trade under your belt."It would stand them in good stead
because many find, when they have to give away their shearing careers,One
treatment that is good is to use tea tree oil for scotch rocks

fighting abilities followed twenty minutes later by a light coating of almond
oil. they have few options left open to them, he said.Shearing was still a good
way to see the world, he said."They can shear here and go over to America,
Italy, England, Norway, Australia"They might not make much first couple of years
[but] it's still a good stepping stone.You might see things get a bit of worse

Mr Hough said he had not worked as a shearer for about eight years,
"just for the guys [farmers] around here".He had been doing a bit more recently
to get fit enough to compete, he said.The South Canterbury and Mid Canterbury
shearers joining him are Mr Rowland, Darfield-based Scotsman and 1984 world
champion Tom Wilson, contractor and show commentator Norm Harraway, Rocky Bull,
Robert McLaren and John Fraser.The story has it there was a bit of a yarn at the
Tinwald Tavern, in Ashburton, which led to the formation of the Last Stand
gang.Mr Bull, of Ashburton, and reportedly the youngest of the group, said he
wanted to support "Huffy" as he is known to his mates. He was a "real neat
fella" who had taught him a lot.The community had really got behind the idea,
too, he said. Ashburton's Mainland Wool was supplying a van, others had chipped
in offering to supply fuel, team T-shirts and the like, he said.Mr McLaren, of
Hinds, who would also not reveal his age, said being a retired shearer was a
prerequisite to make the team.There are many other functions for the vehicle as
