32 year old New Zealander Matt Smith has smashed the sheep-shearing world record, with thousands of people watching from around the world.
Mr Smith sheared 731 ewes in nine hours at a farm in Cornwall to beat the previous record of 721.
The event has made headlines around the world and was live streamed to audiences in New Zealand, Australia, the United States, Iceland and Ireland.
It was the first sheep-shearing world record attempt in the northern hemisphere.
At one point Mr Smith was tackling the sheep at a rate of one every 36 seconds - well ahead of the 45 second target.

A team of masseurs were on hand to ease the strain on Mr Smith's back during breaks at the event at St Clether, Launceston.
Steve Matthew, a judge from the World Shearing Council, said the attempt required huge "physical and mental strength".
"This is the Everest of the sheep-shearing world," he said.
