Merino sheep are a resilient bunch, surviving in places and climates where other breeds cannot.  And so too are the people that farm them.

Jillian Jopp talks about the history of merino farming in Central Otago, life on Moutere Station and what makes merino wool such a desirable fibre on the world stage.

Date: Wednesday 25th January 6:30pm
Location: Central Stories Museum & Art Gallery
