This week on Stockwhips and Lattes we chat to former townie turned shepherd, Ben Maxwell.

Ben was born and raised in Invercargill and his only experience with the rural way of life was spending time on farms that belonged to extended family. 

He made a few bucks crutching and shearing then obtained an agricultural qualification from Otago Polytechnic. Fast forward a few years and Ben is now shepherding at Longacre in Central Otago. 

A man of the land and a keen rugby player, Ben epitomises the 21st century Southern Man.
