🏆 MEMBERS OF THE MONTH – EMILY & KEELY 🏆

This month, we’re celebrating Keely and Emily for being amazing friends to Lydia!

These two legends spent over 3 hours waiting with Lydia in hospital, showing what being a good mate is all about. Sometimes it’s simply being there when someone needs you most.

We’re so lucky to have members like you in our Pendarves Young Farmers community! 💛

Pendarves YF 2026 Speed Shear 🐑

This year, we’re proud to be supporting a cause right here in our local community the Dorie School New Playground! 🛝 📚

Dorie School has been a big part of the Pendarves Young Farmers community, with many of our members having attended the school themselves over the years. We’re excited to give back to a place that has played such an important part in shaping our local community and supporting the next generation.

Come along for a big night out! Enjoy some fast shearing, get involved in the raffles and auctions, have a yarn with the crew, and help us support a great local cause. We would love to see you there!

Rakaia Railway Tavern,
13th November, 2026
First Sheep Shorn @ 7pm

Want to get involved? If you’d like to sponsor or make a donation towards the new playground, we’d love to hear from you.

WE CALLED & NZ YOUNG FARMERS DELIVERED 🗣️🇳🇿🙌🏼

Yehaaa congrats Pendarves club for claiming the crown for the South. We teamed up with our mates nzyoungfarmers to bring this EPIIC competition to life & we are truly stoked to see the response. Everyone that entered stepped up to the plate and absolutely crushed it with their entries, all different in their own ways but all aligned with the main thing… Cutting the bull, connecting, having fun fuelling your stoke and looking after each other while living the farm life.

2026 Cut The Bull campaign has been absolutely pumping taking the team to 3 different locations in both the North and the South Island Hallmark Angus in Hawkes Bay, Fieldays in Hamilton and Te Mania Angus NZ in North Canterbury. So many epic conversations & connections made.

It was up to you guys to make change, leading by doing & that’s what you’ve done.

Due to the amount of love and how this comp went off across New Zealand we thought we’d spread as much love as we can and congratulate a winner of the North island and winner of the South Island…

So a massive congratulations goes to👇🏼

- our man Mason Rumble-Simpson will film & showcase the radness to lock in core club memories
- A HEEAP of 2026 Cut The Bull merch for you and the team
- massive exposure for you and your club showing the world what your all about ✅

We’re pumped to be chatting & spreading a heap of froth alongside you legends across New Zealand. Massey & Pendarves great work team.

A huge amount of love goes out to everyone that got involved you all truly blew us away & made us so proud to be rural kiwis 🇳🇿🙌🏼❤️‍🔥
