About

Waimate Shearing (2011) Ltd offers shearing and wool handling services across South Canterbury and North Otago. The team works through winter and beyond, providing a professional, supportive environment for those interested in entering the wool industry. They provide opportunities to learn wool handling, pressing, and—when workers are ready—progress into shearing. Working with Waimate Shearing means joining a shearing family that travels throughout the region, with meals provided during the workday. This is an ideal pathway for anyone willing to learn, work hard, and build practical skills in a hands-on rural trade.
