Your country is so like Scotland very beautiful I like when we see you out on the hill with your dogs. My father was a shepherd he has passed and my oldest son is also a shepherd on the same farm. It’s very warm here in Scotland at the moment as it’s our summer and we are having an especially warm spell so everyone is getting on with the shearing, is that skylarks I hear they make a lovely sound. The decking looks great Snowy likes to make sure you are doing everything correctly. Stay safe
I was waiting for elfie to get his telling off hahah nice looking steak that was quick getting it back and atleast your honest about your building cheers mate another good video
Hello Sir and welcome back .. absolutely another spectacular beautiful shooting adventures countryside content video documentary and you nailed it again .. gorgeous updated resume and keep it up Sir .. appreciate most of your beautiful sharing adventure videos .. Merci beaucoup Monsieur ..
Would have been a good frost this morning out there I see Oxford as -4.4 just after 6 . Deck and pouch look really good Allister. Oh I've got some brown stain you can have if you where thinking of staining the deck
Like the deck . . . I can imagine that here in Canada . . . four feet of snow on it in February 😄. . . I always marvel at all the steep hills, never run short of exercise. Great video. Cheers.
Hi Georgia.....I spoke to my Georgia today she has bought us American football tickets at Wembley,that’s pretty cool 😎. Decking looks good . Did I just see a singlet with long trousers?😅
Wearing that coat must mean cold weather. Hard to believe that going into summer here in Oklahoma USA means that you are heading into winter. That steak looked delicious
Ha Ha Alistair 😂 one word to explain running out of fuel ⛽️ Embarrassing!!! After 40 years in the mining industry always conduct a Pre-Start on any equipment. How good are those wire strainers. We had exactly same ones on the farm when growing up in 1950s/1960s 👍
I'm sorry for this comment but why were all those dogs at the start locked away? So harsh and cruel. Smaller than what prisoners get and out in the elements. Why would you not provide them more comfort?
Thanks for your comment. They are not out in the elements, they have a kennel which is insulated and the older dogs have jackets for the winter. They are not mistreated otherwise they would not be in good condition to work for me. What more comfort would you like to see.
@@kiwifarmernz All good, I know we are just coming from two different worlds. I'm sure they enjoy their lot, not that they know differently, and farming animals isn't the nicest of businesses.
liked what you wrote in your bio mate, always have a respect for farmers, humans get nowhere without them
Thanks very much

Permanent wire strainers are good nice and quick and easy for fencing.
Sure are.
I used to run Charolais I;ve got plenty of gates like that!!
Great video, deck looks mint!

Woah defiantly not built for 4 feet of snow.
@@kiwifarmernz I think if you had 4 feet of snow at the house the roof of the house might collapse!!
Cute dogs .
Great video Alastair 👌
Thanks! 😁
Thanks mate
No worries
Love ur content im a dairy farmer in South island
Hi, have you featured your farmstay cottage in any video? If you haven't can you do one please. In summer could an SUV get to it?
Yep can do. We are currently changing booking platforms but will update all the details when we switch over. Yes 2wd cars can get up there fine.
Noone tell my Jack Russell that others have to sleep in a kennel and not under the duvet on the kids bed. She would be outraged! 😂😂
Haha he might do that if he gets along with the cats.
Hi Georgia.....I spoke to my Georgia today she has bought us American football tickets at Wembley,that’s pretty cool 😎.
Decking looks good . Did I just see a singlet with long trousers?😅
Yep cold mornings and afternoons with walm midday.
Love ur video mate..
Thanks 👍
Favourite part at 8:30 Classic. 🤣
Something I've always wanted to know is why the moccasins when shearing and not boots?
You have more control of the sheep with Moccasins on. Easier to move your feet around also.
@@kiwifarmernz Thanks mate for telling me
Good'day sir ... Interesting to work farming
Hello. Yes it's always something different.
Yes sir !!! I'm interested to work as farmer

👀🙄🐾👍Great video Alistair will you make it to the Fieldays?
No I wont be there.
Hi Alistair, great video, just wondering if you had done a video on your water system with the bunyip pump etc or have I missed it somewhere? Cheers
No i havent done one yet. i should get onto that.
Nice enviroment Love from Indai❤
Thanks Sir
Hi I like your video
Thank you

Looks like a bloody terrific job mate. Are you going to stain or oil the deck?
Thanks, I will stain it with aqua deck.
@@kiwifarmernz Sounds like a good plan mate
You are lucky the whole lot of those cattle didn't jump the fence. The numbers there would have made short work of the crop!!
yea they were pretty keen.
How many dogs do you have
7 currently including the Jack Russel Snow.
Please answer my question... how much would an hectare of farm cost in new zealand?
Depending on the farm type. It can range from $10,000 to $35,000 per ha
Bro, Is it your own land ?..
We lease it off of my Wife's Family.
Poor ole Elfie being fussed at again. All he’s trying to do is show you that he’s ready to be picked for the All Blacks!
