We visited a World
War ll observation pillbox in the hills of Shakespear Park. It seemed
like a cell.
We visited a tourist
farm and saw the sheep. Stacy and Mike each wrestled with a ewe
before sheering it. Watching the dogs work the sheep was a treat.
Sorry, no pictures. Notice that the raincoat is the uniform of the
day.
 
Wrestling with sheep proved to be easier than it looked!
Statistics published
in preparation for New Zealand’s effort to comply with the
Kyoto Accords stated that sheep and cattle accounted for 44 per
cent of New Zealand’s methane (greenhouse) gas in the atmosphere.
We were surprised to learn that sheep and cattle emit methane when
they chew their cud. We had suspected a by-product from the other
end.
