In today's episode, I'm speaking to Nikki Lyons, one of Australia's most accomplished sheep shearers, whose remarkable career has seen her achieve record-breaking milestones while balancing the demands of motherhood and life on the land.

Nikki has built a reputation for determination, resilience and an unwavering passion for the Australian wool industry.

In this episode, Nikki talks about her journey into shearing, what it takes to perform at an elite level in one of Australia's toughest professions and how she has navigated the challenges of raising a family alongside a demanding career.

We also dive into the future of the wool industry, the challenges facing Australian producers, the importance of skilled shearers, and why wool continues to play such an important role in agriculture.

I am super excited to meet Nikki in person in July as Nikki will also be joining me on stage to chat about all things Wool at the upcoming Australian Sheep and Wool show as I MC the " Women of Wool" Lunch.
