It is reported that this competition is known locally as the "Sheep Shearing Olympics." This year, participants are coming from 38 countries around the world, including China and Chile. Due to the high demand for sheep, there is still a shortage of over 1,000 sheep. Consequently, the organizers are actively purchasing sheep from farmers.
However, because the price of sheep in Ireland is very high, some farmers are reluctant to sell their sheep to the competition. As a result, most have sold their sheep well before the event, making the procurement process for this competition extremely difficult.
