I've just found out that my regular shearer and gang organiser is stuck in NZ.
Apart from my having to find someone else, I started to wonder how many nz lads come over on average, so how short staffed are we going to be this season? My ganger usually got 2 or 3 every season.

25% of shearers are foreign but account for a higher % of the sheep shorn, there is no problem for them to come over and do not have to quarantine, but I have heard the issue is if they will be able to get home after

Is he the one that’s been going over there for over 40yrs or are we thinking of someone else!!!
