This week on Stockwhips and Lattes we chat with farmer and ex-farm show demonstrator Ru Gaddum. Ru is currently running an 880 ha deer, beef, and sheep farm in Kereru but also farms in conjunction with his brother and father so combined they cover 1783ha across 5 properties in the mighty Hawkes Bay.
Ru spent 2 years in Japan as a farm demonstrator, entertaining thousands with his sheep shearing and mustering skills and shares some great stories and lessons with us about his time there. 
Ru speaks incredibly high of his Grandfather and the farming legacy that he originally established and is proud to be carrying on that legacy now with his own family nestled in the foothills of the Ruahine Ranges.
