Flocks of sheep dash across the field causing dust to leap into the air – an image that depicted the intensity and the speed of sheep running across the terrain. Mountains ascend from the grassy field and a scintillating lake. A herder watches the sheep being crammed into a small area surrounded by gates. A red barn with various shades of red stands under the sunlight. The cool breeze creates a very relaxing moment.
I was at the Flock Hills, a sheep farm. It was an immeasurable experience to see how sheep are raised at a farm, and how herders gather wool. Flock Hills is located about 40 km from Christchurch, a very boring city where there’s not much to do.
