Stolen cattle

Nicola from Awapuni

Hi everyone, we have just had 4 400kg heifers stolen from our front paddock last night. We have no race or yards. They pushed the girls hard into the landlords builders yard and the hoof prints stop at their gate. I guess they backed up a truck or something big enough to hold them on and pushed them on. We are just lifestylers so have no expensive insurance. Two of these were our food for our family and two were pets to breed from that my daughters hand raised. They are extremely upset, as am I. This has been premeditated to know where and when to do it. Police and Nait have been alerted. Please, if you hear of cheap beef or someone bragging please let me know, my children are so devastated. We just want our babies back. UPDATE they have been found, they were pushed out of the paddock but obviously got away, many thanks to all, we are very fortunate to have found them.

Stop paying too much!

The Team from NZ Compare

The affordability of everyday items just keeps increasing!
If it’s not the petrol prices, it’s the cost of food, insurance or rates and let’s not get started on mortgage interest costs!

From our recent poll, it shows that over half of people are paying more than a 6% mortgage interest rate. Home loan interest rates don't stay the same for long these days and it’s causing many households to feel stressed out.

Could you be saving thousands of dollars a year? If you don't check, you don't know. Get a FREE mortgage health check through Money Compare and find out. If you could save money, why wouldn’t you right?!
