Sometimes called Gypsy Day but in these proper times it’s not appropriate apparently.
The Dairy contracts on farms starts a new season & thousands of farmers & their families move themselves & sometimes their cows too around the country.
So many different ways of farming in NZ such as contract farmers , share millers, 50/50 farms & everyone wants to move up the ladder.
Pretty impossible to climb the ladder to eventual ownership in this country but it’s certainly possible in New Zealand if you work hard.
It’s been such a moving day for two of our families over the last two stressful days.
Ant & his partner have changed direction a bit as he’s going back into milking cows. Fencing is a hard physical job on his own & they both love animals. Renting out their house & taken on a farm 2/ic job.
Granddaughter & husband have also moved farms too…. hard work with a very young baby. Four of their staff have moved with them.
Number one son is moving to the other side of town in two weeks & grandson William & wife have today set off on a months holiday, first to Norway then here then USA.
All moving around. When one moves we all seem to move.
An Arial view of Wellington I think or it could be Taupo.
It’s been a busy time for your family with so many of them moving. I think this view is Wellington because of the large harbour and I can see the airport runway.
My goodness, how do you keep up with all of them? I guess as long as they keep their same phone number you can at least talk to them. Ha! That’s a lovely scene.
One 1st of June that we didn't have to move anyone. Though we did go to a 'End of Era' party when a couple down the road have had a change of direction and moved away from farming.. #3 GD was born on the 3rd of June and that followed a 1st of June move.. so very hectic that year.
