Calves wanted

Amanda from Te Kowhai

Hi,
My arrangement with a neighbour for two Angus steers fell through and we have masses of grass, and disappointed children … I’m wondering if anyone has steers, any breed will do, that we can buy to keep the grass down. Our arrangement that fell through was for 2 Angus x Fresian weaned steers for $400 each so that’s pretty much what we have to spend on new ones. If you have anything please contact me. Ta 😀

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

The butcher with a taste for adventure

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Jonathan and Sarah Walker are a couple with a give-it-a-go attitude to life, whether it’s travelling the world in a Land Rover or starting a butchery business with no experience.

Nestled below Hakarimata Scenic Reserve just outside of Ngāruawāhia is Soggy Bottom Holding, the local butcher you’ll recognise from frosty mornings at the farmer’s markets.

‘Devastated and disappointed’ - former students hope it wasn’t one of their own

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Former students of Taupō Nui-a-Tia College say they’re “devastated” and “disappointed” after the alleged arson at their school which has left an entire block of classrooms, and a health centre destroyed by fire.

Emergency services were called to the school about 2.15pm on Sunday, when plumes of black smoke could be seen across town.
