Get to see a whole sheep being sheared in about 3 minutes. Get up close with the sheep, learn about the wool and products off it. Also two lovely dogs! $12 for adults may be a bit steep for a 10 minute show but it was quite good fun.

Owner description:
Enjoy the atmosphere of an original shearing shed. The show consists of hand feeding our drysdale Ram ??? Ram-Man??? (who is very photogenic) watching a sheep being shorn, the wool being sorted and pressed. This is followed by a general discussion giving information about sheep shearing, sheep breeds and wool types. Hold a shearing hand piece, old blades shears and Ram horns. During spring you can touch, hold and feed a lamb. Time 30 minutes.

I already went there about seven years ago and it was definitely worth to see it again. Pete is a very funny guy who knows how to entertain eyerybody. During the Show you learn a lot about sheep in New Zealand, but it never gets boring. You also get the opportunity to feed the lambs and take pictures with them....

After seeing so many sheep and lambs in NZ it seemed only right to pay this place a visit.
It was great to meet the sheep, ram, lambs and the dogs, and get a little bit of a taste of life on a farm in NZ. First off we got to feed a couple of the young lambs before Peter...

Didn't really want to go to this, but was persuaded to by my sister, and so pleased that I was. I didn't know there was so many different sheep, or wool come to that. It was, all in all, a very informative and entertaining afternoon.

We stayed at the B&B of Gwenda en Pete, who also does the sheepshearing show twice a day. We had a lovely room and breakfast and really enjoyed our three-day stay with them!

Being in Kaikoura at a time when it wasn't crazy busy made this experience extra special. Got great video of us feedling the lambs - one was just 2 weeks old. Adorable! Fascinating to learn about the shearing of sheep and received a complimentary souvenir. Great value!

We read about this little sheep shearing show in the Lonely Planet Guide and I am so glad we went along!! It was fun - we fed and patted the lambs, we learn't about the different types of sheep and the wool they produce. Peter sheared a sheep for us and introduced us to the dogs - very lovely and...

This was one of the true highlights of our visit to Kaikoura. Pete the owner was just great and all of the animals were charming and beautiful. Great time - the most gorgeous views in creation. Go to the Marine Museum close-by. Small and cute.

Great for kids and adults. We got to pet and feed lamb, ram, ewes and a dog. Saw the shearing and got a very nice and informative lecture as well as complimentary gift. Great value for money. Rather do this than go whale watching.

We loved how the host got you involved holding a lamb, feeding the sheep and sitting by the sheep dog, if you wanted to. He was excellent in covering information about different type of sheep and their products, along with the shearing.
