Mt Hay Farm Experience

The Mt. Hay Farm experience offers an authentic glimpse into the heart of New Zealand's high-country farming.

The shearing experience for Merino sheep in Tekapo offers a fascinating look into the world of high-country farming. Merino sheep are prized for their exceptionally fine and soft wool, which is highly sought after in the textile industry. The shearing process is a skilled and delicate operation, typically performed once a year to harvest the wool and ensure the sheep’s comfort. During a shearing demonstration in Tekapo, visitors can observe professional shearers at work, using traditional techniques and specialized tools to carefully remove the wool fleece in one piece.
