Paddocks for Use

Corrine from Cambridge

We have a number of paddocks on a lifestyle block just out of TA with a number of fruit trees and we are currently running some sheep and a cute kunekune pig.

We would be open to letting someone take over the use of these paddocks and they can fatten up their own sheep, in return for looking after the paddocks i.e. spraying, etc. You are welcome to also look after the fruit trees and we would share the fruit. We normally give most of it away anyway. Ideal for a retired farmer wanting a project with the added bonus of having some land, animals and fruit. Open to suggestions. Thanks :-)

Jo Mannering had been for her share of regular check-ups before a 5cm tumour was discovered in her breast.

She was stunned. She wondered if she would die. “My most important things were, will my children be okay?"

Now nearly three years clear of cancer, Mannering is one of the 1000 participants and spectators who gathered for Thursday’s Breast Cancer Research Trust Pink Walk & Run at Hamilton Lake Domain.
