Interesting. I imagined it'd be similar to how things are run in Switzerland. Cows there are pretty adventurous I suppose.

Isn't Switzerland the place they keep the cows in a barn and grow the grass separate, then cut and feed the grass to the cows?

I think they also have much smaller herd sizes than NZ.

When I visited, I run into cows plenty of times while hiking the mountain trails. I can't speak with authority, but from what I was told is that there aren't many big dairy farms, most dairy farmers run small scale farms.
