Wonderful time with memorable experiences...
Woodstone Farm, Te Anau, New Zealand的点评
点评:We visited Woodstone Farm today and had a wonderful time with memorable experiences and informative discussions with Chris and Grant. We got to feed the sheep, alpacas and cows, as well as watch an entertaining sheepdog heard the sheep with the care of a shepherd. We watched the shearing of a sheep and saw with our own eyes how this resembled a human's buzz cut haircut for the sheep, although a full body one in this case, who experienced no pain or discomfort. We were also able to hold and feed a baby lamb. If human beings treated one other as well as the owner and workers treat these lovely animals, the world would be a better place. We intend to return for another visit in the future to see the additions that Chris is making to this wonderful exhibition of farming. New Zealand is well known for its wool and dairy and this is as good of an educational event specific to these industries that I have experienced. I say this as someone who grew up working on dairy farms and occasionally sheep farms as a boy in northern New York state in the USA.
