Sheep farming - how hard can it be...


Sam was up at 5 in the morning. We slept a bit longer and when he came back at 8 we had breakfast and then we got into his 4WD for the drive up the hills to move some sheep.



Sam had 3 Dogs to help him moving the sheep from one field to another. In total he has 10.000 sheep and 6500 hectare farm. Not the small place Malene had imagined.
Found the sheep at the top and then we walked with Sam and the dogs before they let us wait at the top while they looked for sheep further down the hills. A bit windy but such a great view from the top of the hill.





Later we also had a chance to say hello to the cows. In the afternoon we did a short drive to Wanaka. Sam had to do some work so we relaxed at a cafe and did shopping for the dinner.
BBQ in the evening with Sam, his girlfriend and Sams sister - winemaker currently working in Australia. Got a bit late - but so nice to hang out with them.
