The Force Behind The Farm

"A great bunch of blokes to work with. You can depend on them completely. " These were the words of farm manager Rupert Martin as we bumped down the hill towards the group of men busily wiring a fence below us. These men, and their predecessors, have erected something like 43 miles of fence around the property as well as handling all the usual chores associated with a sheep farm. From what we've heard, Rupert certainly has got a good crew. But we also hear the crew's got a pretty good captain.
