The next generation of young shearers have shawn off their skills at the Hawke's Bay A&P Show.
The A&P show was held this week on the outskirts of Hastings and drew huge crowds for its final day today.
Among its many attractions, the show featured a variety of sheep shearing competitions for people to enjoy.
One of those competitions, reserved solely for the next generation of shearers, is the Great Raihania Secondary Schools competition.
