Share Mongolia
Mongolia is a nation with a deep agricultural heritage. Its nomadic herders farm more than 30 million sheep — and until recently, almost all were shorn with traditional hand scissors. A skilled scissor shearer could complete around 20 sheep per day, and due to limited capacity, only 20 million sheep were shorn each year.
Machine shearing arrived in Mongolia in 2020, introduced by Enkhnasan Chuluunbaatar (Mongolia’s sole competitor at previous World Championships) and Zoe Leech from Golden Bay. Their pioneering work led to annual training programmes delivered by the New Zealand–based charity Share Mongolia. In just a few short years, machine shearing has been embraced enthusiastically by herders, providing new income opportunities and lifting the value of Mongolian wool.
In June 2025, Mongolia held its first-ever machine sheep shearing competition, attracting 83 entries. The winner and runner-up earned the honour of representing Mongolia at the 2026 World Championships, hosted by Golden Shears in Masterton, New Zealand.
Machine shearing may still be in its infancy in Mongolia, but this team carries immense pride — and they look forward to competing, learning, and connecting with shearers from around the world.
🇲🇳 Mongolian Team World Championship Profiles
Wool Handler — Azbayar Chuluunbat (Azaa)
My connection to sheep shearing began through my brother‑in‑law, who trained as a shearer during Share Mongolia’s 2023 summer programme and later travelled to New Zealand. Before entering the wool and shearing sector, I worked as a circus performer in Turkey. After researching the industry, I decided to change my career path.
I completed my first electric shearing training in the summer of 2025 and then joined the Monpellets factory shearing team for about 1.5 months. Today, I am in New Zealand working as a wool handler and continuing to develop my shearing skills. I am honoured to represent Mongolia as a wool handler. My first major success came at Mongolia’s inaugural Golden Scissor National Sheep Shearing Championship, where I won gold in the Novice shearing category.
Wool Handler — Lkham Bayar (Sam)
I have lived a rural life since childhood and continue to work as a livestock herder today. I have participated in Share Mongolia training programmes since 2023 and have worked as a wool handler with my husband’s shearing team for the past two years. Through the Share Mongolia project, my husband and I travelled to New Zealand this year to learn more about agriculture, shearing, wool handling, and wool classing. Leaving our two‑year‑old daughter in Mongolia with my parents was incredibly difficult.
From the 10th grade, I trained in Freestyle Wrestling and Sambo, earning:
Silver at the Asian Championship
1 gold and 3 bronze medals at international competitions
3 gold, 4 silver, and 3 bronze medals at National Championships
I graduated in 2023 from the Mongolian National University of Education with a degree in Coaching. After graduating, I returned to the countryside to continue herding and deepen my knowledge of animal husbandry. Life for herders in Mongolia — especially women — can be extremely harsh. Winter temperatures average –35°C, and in 2025 dropped to –54°C. These conditions have shaped my strength, discipline, and determination, which I bring into sport and competition.
Machine Shearer — Serjbude Lkhagvasuren (Budee)
I grew up as a herder, horse rider, and wrestler. In the summer of 2022, during the Naadam Festival, a local agricultural officer invited me to observe an electric shearing course in Tsagaan soum, Arkhangai. I was amazed — machine shearing was unbelievably fast compared to traditional hand shearing, where I could manage only about 20 sheep per day.
Inspired, I sought proper training and completed a course with a friend. In September 2022, I was selected for advanced training in New Zealand through Share Mongolia. It was my first time leaving Mongolia, and the experience changed my life. It showed me that a rural herder could grow and compete on the world stage.
I have now shorn more than 50,000 sheep. My wife is working alongside me at this competition as a wool handler, making this journey even more meaningful. I placed 2nd at Mongolia’s first National Sheep Shearing Championship, held under the patronage of the President of Mongolia, and I currently hold the Mongolian speed shearing record — 27 seconds, achieved at the Taumarunui Speed Shear Show in 2026.
I am proud to represent Mongolia. My goal is not only to compete but to train young herders and help develop our wool sector. Seeing innovation in New Zealand motivates me to bring knowledge home and share it. Good luck to all countries — I look forward to learning, making new friends, and giving my best.
Machine Shearer — Baasandorj Erdenetsogt (Baaska)
I come from a herder family and have worked with livestock all my life. After shearing countless sheep by hand until 2021, I learned electric shearing in 2022 through New Zealand trainers and have since shorn more than 50,000 sheep.
My first competition was at the Ohura Show in New Zealand in 2023, where I placed 3rd in the Junior category. Shearing has given me a lifelong skill and a strong professional network across Mongolia and internationally. It has also allowed me to travel widely throughout my country — opportunities I never imagined.
Mongolia has more than 30 million sheep, and I believe shearing is a career with a strong future. I learned English and started my own mobile shearing business in 2024, which has been widely appreciated. On 21 June 2025, I won 1st place at Mongolia’s first National Sheep Shearers Championship, earning the honour of representing Mongolia at the 2026 World Championships.
I am excited and proud to be part of the Mongolian team. Good luck to all countries — the Mongolian team is coming.
Team Mongolia wishes to acknowledge
Deegi (Delgermaa Shagdarsuren) who is a Mongolian sheep wool fertilizer producer and an agricultural enthusiast dedicated to advancing Mongolia’s sheep wool sector. She joined Share Mongoliai in 2022 and has since played an active role in organizing and supporting annual sheep shearing training programs every summer, working with Mr. Paul Brough and experienced trainers from New Zealand.
Through hands-on participation and continuous learning alongside New Zealand professionals, Deegi has built a strong understanding of modern sheep shearing practices, wool handling, and value chain development.
In 2023, she played a key coordinating role in Mongolia’s first national Sheep Shearing Championship, held under the “White Gold” program initiated by the President of Mongolia.
Her contribution was especially important in connecting New Zealand judges, coaches, and participants with Mongolian shearers, helping to transfer international experience and standards to the local industry.
Deegi’s passion lies in improving the quality, productivity, and sustainability of Mongolia’s sheep wool sector, while strengthening the supply chain between herders and processing factories. She strongly believes that exposure to international competition and best practices is essential for growth.
Looking ahead, Deegi aims to support the expansion of Mongolia’s national sheep shearing championships into regional and international-level competitions, with the long-term vision of positioning Mongolia as a competitive and respected country on the global sheep shearing stage.
