    Always enjoy your content. Started my working life in NZ on a dairy farm. Left NZ as a topdressing pilot now a long lost New Zealander. Your efforts must be admired and enjoy seeing you working with your father.

    Love it when my RUclips Farmers visit each other.😊
    I had just watched his first NZ video and he appears on your Channel which followed his.
    Hope you told him what a sheep is as he says he hates them. 😊

    Great show today. I’m a retired (?) videographer so I know what time it takes to produce these things what with editing / post production etc. The content is much improved and lovely to see the family, both the two and four leg varieties.. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 stars again 😀

    Nice to see Georgia being with her Dad. Snowy... A help or a hindrance? Unfortunately dogs like Snowy die here in Oz because they try to defend their ground against snakes. Very, very, brave but you don't often find another breed of dog that's simply doesn't have it in the thoughts department.

    Great video . . . I don't think I'd get a lot of work done there, be too busy walking the hills. Wondering about the fly-strick, is because farm sheep are in the open fields or paddocks in warm summer weather? Cheers.

    • @kiwifarmernz
      @kiwifarmernz  Месяц назад +1

      Lots of damp warm weather which is shocking for fly.

    Is Alfie trained to isolate out a single sheep or was that just good luck. Excellent drone footage of the grading

    • @kiwifarmernz

      He's not trained for that but is very smart. I was very surprised, he did it twice so no fluke.
