We
live on 3 acres of south-facing, hilly grassland at Hamurana, which is
on the
northern edge of Lake Rotorua. Because we both worked full time in town,
we wanted grazing animals that would be easy for us to manage. We
settled on suri for a variety of reasons. Suri are:
- gentle
on the land, having padded feet instead of hooves
- easy
care, requiring minimal stock management compared to sheep
- independent,
with some being aloof, others being friendly
- "paddock
trained", generally pooing in one place (easy collection for garden
fertilizer)
- efficient
protein converters (high quality pasture not necessary)
- curious
by nature
- generally easy to halter train,
and easy to transport
- hardy, having few medication needs
- beautiful and a little bit
different
- producers of exquisite lustrous
fibre
