NZ Farming


We are getting a good taste of New Zealand farming here and it feels great! Sheep, cattle & deer farms surround us. It's the time of year when lambs are born and herds of sheep are being moved from paddock to paddock. They do this with the use of border collies and ATV's. If you're driving along one of the roads and you come across this, well, you just have to wait. No one seems in a hurry here. Everyone is so mellow, easy going and friendly. Tonight is the big, no HUGE, opening of the World Cup Rugby Tournament hosted by New Zealand. The NZ All Blacks Team is favored to win the tournament. USA plays on Sunday. For the next two months, it'll all be about Rugby. After all the earthquakes (25 in the last year all over a 5.0 magnitude with thousands of aftershocks too) this young country needs something to get excited about- and it is called RUGBY. Go All Blacks!!
