Sheep, sheep and more sheep
If New Zealand is known for the Kiwi Bird and Kiwi Fruit, it is also equally know worldwide for its sheep industry. We couldn’t come here and not experience this agricultural phenomenon. There are approximately 65,000,000 sheep in New Zealand and only about 17,000,000 people. Of the shep being farmed there are over 20 different varieties. We had a chance to see them all when we visited the Agridome south of Rotorua. Lizzie participated in the show as a surrogate Ewe, feeding the lambs by bottle. The most famous of all the sheep varieties is the Merino. The Merino wool is the best in the world and Tracie and I treated ourselves to a couple of sweaters.
