Dylan spent three months in New Zealand recording a wide range of sheep farms and the background to them. Most of New Zealand gets plenty of rain its a good place to grow grass. Where you can grow grass you can grow sheep, and on one station in this DVD they run 40,000 ewes, not to mention 1,500 cows and 4,000 deer hinds.

The breed names will be familiar to British viewers Romneys, Merinos and the Romney x Cheviots known as Perendales. Some of the sheep management will be less familiar, with mustering by huntaways or helicopter, fast-moving tailing crews and a complete lack of lambing sheds.

Dylan digs under the colourful surface of a variety of sheep enterprises from all parts of New Zealand. He explores the change in the meat/wool price, the part cattle play on sheep farms, the continuing importance of the UK Christmas lamb market and how the Kiwis have coped with the ending of their special relationship.

Dylan sets the farming scene in its context with some of the most wonderful scenery you will ever see, and includes features on livestock markets and transport, threats to indigenous flora and wildlife, how to trim 60 ft hedges, the NZ Royal Show and the high-energy lifestyle of New Zealand shepherds. His interviewees include recent farming immigrants from Scotland who compare their experiences.

This is Gods own country with a strong work ethic where the shearing gang and the grader are kings. A great place to grow sheep.

Woooooow obviously none of you have any farming experience at all. Have you ever tried to catch a lamb by hand? they can easily out maneuver a human so ofc hed set his dog on it and usually if it headed the lamb fast enough it would just lie down. To carry a lamb by its arm is fine and causes them no pain, didn't you see how it completely relaxed when he picked it up? if it was hurt it would of called out or kicked its legs.

I wouldn't hold a baby like that either. I might hold a lamb that way though.

[tracyhobbs]

[222gemini]

@WAkiwi1980 he nearly dislocated its leg, you could tell it was in pain

[222gemini]

look at the cruel way hes holding that lamb. poor lamb, its sick

[orig8a]

@yoshi55888 you try running after it and trying to catch it yourself then

[michelleobamam]

@WAkiwi1980 i dont understand what you're trying to say

[WAkiwi1980]

Bloody greeny alert! most comfortable way to carry the lambs is by the front legs also means your sent does not cover the lambs sent which will result in miss mother, for you greenies thats when the ewe does not recognise her own lamb due to incorrect sent pattern... Time you guys should look past your office computer and stuffed toys, and remember the natural ways the world acuallu works, food for thought what do you thinks gonna happen to ' the dear wee lamb' when it goes to the meat works?

[RadicalMassacre]

@MrSidewayys its how you carry them, granted, grabbing it by both front legs would be slightly more comfortable for the lamb, but thats the way you carry a lamb when you're working with it
