The Te Kuiti Shearer Statue, located in Te Kuiti, the "Sheep Shearing Capital of the World," is a tribute to the town’s rich shearing heritage. This impressive bronze statue stands proudly on Rora Street, near the Te Kuiti Railway Station, and celebrates the town's long-standing association with sheep farming and shearing.

The statue depicts a shearer in action, bent over a sheep with shears in hand, and it symbolizes the hard work and skill involved in New Zealand’s sheep-shearing industry. It is also a nod to one of Te Kuiti’s most famous residents, Sir David Fagan, a world-renowned shearer who has set numerous world records and won countless shearing championships.

The statue is a popular stop for visitors, especially during the annual New Zealand Shearing Championships, held in Te Kuiti, where the best shearers in the world compete. The monument reflects the region's identity and pride in its agricultural roots, making it a must-see landmark in Te Kuiti.
