The Golden Shears world sheep shearing championships are hosted in 2023 by the Royal Highland Show.

The competition's first return to Scotland in over 20 years has teams from 30 countries competing in machine shearing, hand shearing, and wool handling categories.

Competitors gathered earlier this week for a last-minute training session at Crookston Farm in the Borders. OnFARM's Monty and producer Dave were there too.

This episode of OnFARM is kindly supported by Lawrie and Symington.
