CLIP OF THE YEAR - HANNAH NOACK Super proud of our wool classing student Hannah Noack and the whole team of shearing and wool handling students that prepared the clip of the year at our improver school for Teetulpa!
Congratulations to AJ & PA McBride Ltd and Warren & Ros Breeding and their team
Fantastic recognition of all the hard work after a couple of tough years.

So this just happened… 🏆🐑

Teetulpa has just been crowned Elders Supreme Clip of the Year 2026!

After being named Clip of the Month again this year — earning them a place in the running — they’ve gone one better by taking out the prestigious Clip of the Year award.

A huge congratulations to Warren and Ros Breeding and Lachie Roberts at Teetulpa. While it’s a small team for much of the year, things ramp up during shearing when Grant, Lindsay, Vic and Kingsley Breeding come out of retirement to get that woolly good feeling once again! Add in our casuals, contractors and everyone who lends a hand during shearing, and it’s clear this award is the result of a true team effort.

A special congratulations also goes to Hannah Noack, who was recognised as the Clip of the Year Classer. 👏👏

An outstanding achievement and one everyone involved should be incredibly proud of.

Congratulations, team, and enjoy celebrating tonight! 🎉
