O que este vídeo aborda
Jeanne Socrates stopped at the river estuary at Fangaruru on New Zealand's coast, anchoring Narayda and accepting an invitation from farmer Mike Bennett to visit his property, known locally as The Farm in Fangaruru.Watch The farm runs Friesian and Jersey dairy cattle, free-ranging pigs — some with wild-pig bloodlines — horses (Mike's wife Ellen keeps around 40), and newborn calves and piglets.1:47 Jeanne observed and participated in the milking operation, learning the technique of attaching milking cups to cow teats and watching a "calfeteria" automated calf feeder in use — a device that allows one person to rear large numbers of calves once they are trained to it.3:22 Pigs are fed fresh milk as a byproduct.6:32 The hilly, post-rain terrain required borrowed oversized gumboots.7:34 The day ended at the Russell Yacht Club, where Mike races regularly; Jeanne joined his crew on a Wednesday evening race that started in near-calm conditions before wind filled in, and the boat finished first across the line.10:04
