Fonterra Open Gates, free family day out
Some Fonterra farmers are opening up their gates on Sunday 11 November, to show how they care for the environment and what they are doing to help protect it.
It’s also your chance to enjoy a fun family day out on the farm, where you can see where your milk comes from, chat to our farmers and sample our products, including our special edition Tip Top ice cream.
Book your free farm visit to secure your place and don't forget your gumboots! For more information visit Open Gates.
Wandering Livestock
🐮🐮🐑 If you see livestock such as cows, sheep, alpacas or other farmed animals wandering on the road, first report it to the police. If the animals are causing an emergency, or will potentially cause an emergency, call 111. If the livestock do not present any immediate risk, you can call *555 from your mobile phone.
If the livestock are on a local road, contact the local council. If the livestock are on a state highway, contact Waka Kotahi on 0800 44 44 49 (0800 4 HIGHWAY).
If someone else’s livestock wander onto your private land, the council is not required to collect or impound the animals, but they may be able to help you locate the owners so the animals can be collected. You have the right to impound stock that wandered onto your property – you can take the animals to the nearest pound or keep them on your property for up to 48 hours before taking them to the pound.
