OUR FARM TOUR

Our Farm Tour

Your tour starts with an introduction, and a brief health and safety overview.

​

We operate working farms and a healthy, safe working farm experience for our guests is paramount. Following that it is into the wool shed. Here you will meet an experienced, professional shearer who will do both a live machine and a blade shearing demonstration. You will get to feel the difference between the sheep and the fleece.

We encourage you to ask as many questions as you can. You get to explore and have a go at wool classing (tidying the fleece) and the difference between different breeds of sheep.

Next, it is out to watch two working dogs do their stuff with a mob of sheep including a heading dog (eye dog) and a Huntaway (which uses its bark). You can try your hand at "drafting" a mob through the sheep yards.

This is followed by a traditional morning tea or afternoon tea - scones, tea, coffee and drinks for the kids. After refreshments, it's out on the farm to see our cows.

Here you will feed a pet cow by hand, handle and learn about our cows
