The Mt. Hay Farm experience offers an authentic glimpse into the heart of New Zealand's high-country farming.

The shearing experience for Merino sheep in Tekapo offers a fascinating look into the world of high-country farming. Merino sheep are prized for their exceptionally fine and soft wool, which is highly sought after in the textile industry. The shearing process is a skilled and delicate operation, typically performed once a year to harvest the wool and ensure the sheep’s comfort.
During a shearing demonstration in Tekapo, visitors can observe professional shearers at work, using traditional techniques and specialized tools to carefully remove the wool fleece in one piece. The process requires precision and expertise to handle the sheep gently while maximizing the quality of the wool.

As you watch, you’ll learn about the importance of Merino wool in the global market, the sustainable practices used in its production, and the significance of wool in New Zealand's agricultural heritage. The experience also provides insights into the shearers' lifestyle, the training required for their craft, and the role of shearing in the overall farm operation.
Set in the stunning landscape of Lake Tekapo, the shearing experience is more than just an agricultural demonstration; it’s an opportunity to connect with the region’s rich farming traditions and understand the hard work and dedication that go into producing some of the world’s finest wool.
The experience also includes an impressive sheepdog demonstration, showcasing the remarkable intelligence and agility of these trained dogs as they expertly herd the sheep across the rugged terrain.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Tekapo and the Southern Alps, this immersive tour highlights the dedication and craftsmanship that go into sustainable farming, providing a memorable and educational experience for all.
