Sheep farming shaped New Zealand's economy for the better part of a century — wool was the country's single most valuable export for most of the span between 1856 and 1967. Merino sheep arrived first, from the 1840s, but struggled with the wetter conditions of the North Island's hill country. The hardier Romney breed proved better suited to exactly this kind of farmland, became the country's dominant breed through the 20th century, and by 2000 made up roughly 60% of the national flock.
Sheepdog trials go back nearly as far — the first organised trials in New Zealand were held at Wānaka in 1867. Herding dogs are still essential to running a working farm this size day to day, and that's exactly what the shearing and sheepdog demonstrations here are built around, not a staged performance for visitors.
This is a genuine, family-run operation rather than a tourist property dressed up as one, which is also why the tour only runs through New Zealand's warmer months, October 1 through April 30, rather than year-round.
