It's a big week for the sport of lamb shearing.
On Tuesday 19 year old Reuben Alabaster, raised in Taihape, beat a decade-long world record of 744 lambs in eight hours by Irish shearer Ivan Scott at Opepe in 2012.
In four two hour runs - Reuben shore 746.
He's already facing stiff competition with Jack Fagan, who has been working to beat his record since seven o'clock this morning at Puketiti Station. Reuben talks to Jesse.
