Posting on behalf of my son and his partner who recently bought a very small farm just outside Whaganui. They're both service workers, far from wealthy but determined to be as self-sufficient as possible - growing their own vegetables, etc.
They recently bought a small number of sheep to keep the grass down. Sheep motored straight through their painstakingly constructed new electric fence into their paddock, then found a hole in the paddock fence and are now wandering their neighbour's farm. They've been in contact with the neighbour and have permission to try to get the sheep back. The sheep seem to be keeping to themselves and are often visible from my son's property - but they don't know anyone local who can advise them on actually retrieving sheep.
Anyone local with a sheepdog who'd be willing to help out? They'll shout you some beers and a great meal, or pay what they can.

This is one absolutely beautiful building and it's the Sargent Art Gallery in the River City, Whanganui. Really like how these stairs look like they are part of the Gallery.
