A day at the Agrodome

02-Apr-2000

The Agrodome is an exhibition centre for New Zealand Animal husbandry - and the best value tour we had been on. We even went to check out the Zorbing - but didn't do it in the end.

This is either a Bob Marly worshiping sheep or he's from Fiji



Sheep shearing in action


They asked Helen to give a milking demonstration - on stage.

Me and the sheep


To keep SGK from getting jealous we let her pose with the sheep too.


Sheep dogs in action


Fallow deer are a popular animal on Kiwi farms - for the Venison



No - we are not back in Bolivia; Many Kiwi farmers have taken to raising alpacas for their finer wool


Helen feeding an Emu - raised for it's meat and the oily fat under it's skin


And they raise Kiwi's here too...


Where's my Winchester '94 when I need it???



Charlie is a European Red Deer - raised primarily for the velvet on their horns
