For the benefit of readers, shearing competitions such as the World Championships and Golden Shears (shearer v shearer v shearer etc), which Cam Ferguson won last year are different than records (shearer v the clock), which are based on the standard working hours of the woolshed. On Jan 10, Cam shore 742 in 8hrs, Ivan having held the record since Dec 2008 when he shore 736 in 8hrs
