“We read about it in the media,” John, who farms inland from Otaio, said.
“We liked what they were hoping to achieve and donated a couple of beasts last year. We’ve got another one or two going next week. We’d like to keep supporting them.”
He said dairy farming was going quite well, and they were happy to give back.
Each beast was worth about $700.
“Farmers don’t talk about these things much, but it’s had quite a lot of support.”
