Jared Manihera:

Rowena speaks to the organiser of the 24-hour charity event “Shear 4 a cause” taking place in West Otago at Waitangi weekend. The gruelling event sees five men shearing for 24 hours over a 32-hour period. This year also includes an epic clash between Jamie Mackay and Rabobank chief executive Todd Charteris, who will shear ... one sheep each.
