Whereabouts in southland. I worked a winter near Lumsden one time?

near Invercargill

 

[brownbrown]

we are handing the farm over to a share milker and might go to north to have a break. southland is too cold.

 

[brownbrown]

want to let you know we set up a forum for NZ farmers. thefarmersforum.co.nz is the one. I'm searching for experienced dairy farmers to post new topics or share farm tips.

@devonshirekiwi could be a handy contact if you're looking further north, mate

A few of us on here, there is/used to be a world map showing where all the TFF members (with locations on their profiles) live - I think I'm the most southern, or very close.
Not sure if it's on this new version of TFF or not, maybe @Chris F can advise, I'm still learning it TBH

Bill and Helen sold up last year and moved up to the Rangitikei. He'd know plenty of Canterbury dairy folk though. He ran 2 units along the Methven Highway.
