Craig and Tracey Fisher on their farm where they milk 210 cows on 86 hectares in Taranaki.
Stratford couple Craig and Tracey Fisher are 50/50 sharemilkers, milking 210 cows on 86 hectares at the base of Mount Taranaki. It's a picturesque spot, even though it gets a bit moist sometimes.
"We're right up on the mountainside, so it does get a bit damp in places," says Craig, who started dairy farming soon after high school.
"I started dairy farming when I was 19. I farmed around coastal Taranaki for four years and then my boss at the time basically offered me 50/50 on his other farm. So we went in there for three seasons and then we've moved on to this property," says Craig.
