In 2025 we held the first Basque Country Sheep Shearing Championship at the Abadiño probaleku, and it was a great success. Eighty shearers took part, from Euskal Herria and from abroad, in the first championship of this size. Competitions, demonstrations, children’s workshops, food and drink and a fair all came together, turning Abadiño into the centre of the sheep world.
The atmosphere was superb from the morning on and some 2,000 people came along. The response from the public and from the shearers was excellent.
Thanks to everyone working together, the strength of sheep shearing was there for all to see. This first edition has left us moved and proud, and we will keep going.
