Pikowai Farms
April 27th, 2008
An enjoyable weekend was spent on the family drystock farm in Pikowai. This year is looking promising as there is plenty of grass for our Sheep, Cattle, and Deer as well as for the 1000 Dairy Cows that we graze. Over the summer we managed to produce a large supply of meadow and lucerne hay which we use to keep our horses well feed over the winter along with supplying our regular equestrian customers. It was also good to see, while on a horse ride through the forestry, that our pines are almost ready to harvest. Many hours went into pruning and thinning those trees on summer holidays so it is good to see our efforts beginning to pay off.
