Shearing record broken

KEY POINTS:

    Southern Hawke's Bay shearer Rodney Sutton broke the world solo nine-hour strongwool ewe-shearing record in a King Country woolshed yesterday - by a solitary sheep.

    He dragged sheep number 721 on to the board in front of about 250 supporters a few seconds before 5pm to break the
    mark set by Southlander Darin Forde 10 years ago.
