Ram for sale
Hi, my name is Mars and I am a very friendly 2.5 year old ram. I was born at this property and have been given a lot of love and attention as my mother taught me to be friendly to people. I still come over for a pat and scratch every time I see my owners and can be easily moved between paddocks as I would follow a bucket of sheep nuts without any hesitation. I have fathered quite a few lambs over this time and majority of them were twins. I am Texel X Gotland Pelt and I've got the most amazing white wool. The Gotland Pelt girls I have been with produced black lambs, but my lambs with Texel, Finn and other white coloured girls are white.
It is time for me to now move to another family as my owners are now running out of girls they can let me run with.
Please come and meet me if you are interested, my owners' contact is 027 276 2838.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐ป๐จ๐
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weโre a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature โ and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
