That's a lot of sheep!

It's a way of life that's disappearing as the South Island becomes busier and large landholdings are broken up and sold to new owners.

Thanks for the article. I also enjoyed this one, especially listening to that Kiwi accent!

Thanks for sharing this, Diamantina. It reminded me of when we got caught in a sheep jam after we visited Mt. Sunday.
