Down to the wire
‘Shaun’ proved very popular
‘Shaun’ a wire sheep specially created in Nelson, was this year’s competition prize and many were keen to guess his weight and take him home. More than 227 entries were received with the lowest weight guessed being 2.5 kgs and the highest at 95 kgs. Three entries were very close, but the one winner who guessed Shaun’s exact weight at 11.52 kgs was Duncan Abbey. Shaun will be residing at Duncan’s place in the very near future.
Congratulations to Duncan and thank you to all those who took part.
