Episode One: Cows, Triathlons & A Girl Who Fell In Love With Farming with Daisy Higgs

  • Summary

  • When Daisy Higgs was younger, she never thought she'd end up falling in love with farming.

    Fast forward a few years and the 26-year-old admits she couldn't imagine another way of life.

    Daisy developed a love of animals while growing up with her family on a lifestyle block in Taranaki. She completed a Bachelor of Science Majoring in Agricultural Science at Massey University, but it was only by chance she ended up working on a farm.

    She found a position advertised by the relative of a university friend and not ever considering dairy farming as a long-term option, she thought it might give her something to do for the short term. After the first season, Daisy loved it and now claims that she will probably be a dairy farmer for the rest of her life.

    Since then Daisy has been a busy lady! She is now the manager of a 180-cow dairy operation, has numerous Dairy Industry award titles and competes in many triathlons, but only when she has spare time..
