During Nights with Bryan Crump
Paddy Borthwick carries the surname once synonymous with the meat industry in New Zealand. His grandfather Pat ran the Australasian arm of the meat processing company as well as buying a sheep and beef property near Masterton in 1932.
These days Paddy oversees the farm, with its angus stud, as well as running his own Borthwick Estate vineyard, producing wine mainly for export. We also meet his father Robin Borthwick who went farming, running Te Whanga Station and Waitui, both near Borthwicks Waingawa Meat works.
There are more tales from two Kiwi country vets; and Cosmo Kentish Barnes meets Coromandel Oyster farm and shop worker Anne Louden.
