Check this out tonight! Our pb club members on at 7pm!!

Lots of people are looking forward to the story that goes to air at 7pm tonight, about two brothers who worked as shepherds on Puketoro, a big East Coast hill country station, then bought the farm. In the show, we see them bring the community together for the annual sheep and cattle sale.

It's that time of year again. Our wonderful sponsors Kaharau Angus have their bull walk coming up in May.

Only about a few weeks away until the East Coast Angus Bull Walk - Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th May.
Come and join us at Kaharau on Tuesday 7th May at 9am to view the Bulls and enjoy a delicious morning tea from Black Fig catering - cream scones included !
