Sheep shearers from North Argyll Young Farmers’ Club went head to head to ‘clip’ seconds off the stopwatch at the weekend.
Judges kept a close eye as entrants at Saulmore Farm near Connel on Friday battled it out against the timer with shears in hand to win the top trophy.
It was the first time the hoggs from Saulmore Farm had come under the clippers. Entrants included the club’s treasurer Callum Leitch, Beth Menzies, Fulton Ronald, Robert McKellar, Alec MacPherson and Allan MacFadyen.
