I am looking for on going grazing for my increasing sheep numbers.
If you have a lifestyle property and want to keep the grass down but don't want the hassle of running stock I could solve the problem and also give you some money for the use of your paddocks.

At the October 17 election, New Zealanders will have the opportunity to choose their regional spokesperson.
Through the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system, those enrolled can vote for the party they want as well as a local representative.
Why does my MP matter?
The person elected will be the voice for your region in Parliament. If you’re having trouble getting entitlements or dealing with Government departments, they can help. If your community needs funding for certain projects or activities, or there isn’t enough healthcare in the area, the elected MP can step in and help.
