9:07 Country Life
Tonight the Country Life team hear about the newest breed of cattle on the block - some are black with white spots and some are white with black.
They have a story about reject horses from the racing industry - retired trotters are being saved and prepared for loving new homes.
And they're catching up with an international cheese judge who's pretty clear about the sort of cheeses New Zealander should be making.
