New Zealand - Sheep; Sheep - New Zealand. What else?
 |
| The shepherd is explaining about the different job of each dog. |
 |
| One dog is to bring in all the sheep who have been grazing, or napping, on the hills, into the farmyard. |
 |
| "Come on, come on, everybody! In, in, you go!" |
 |
| The other dog's job is to settle the sheep. Like this. They stay put at the same direction as the dog. |
 |
| See? Obedient sheep :) |
The shepherd gave us a game of dividing the sheep between the ones with pink mark, blue mark, and no mark.
At this time it was a school holiday. Therefore, there were many kids. Maybe there were more children visitors and adult visitors.

| Here comes the awaited moment: How to shear a sheep. |

 |
| The kids get a chance of hands on the sheep. Then each of them get a handful of fresh wool to bring home. |
The whole event was concluded with lamb-feeding -- by kids only :D
