About this word search
Number eight wire is the fencing wire that became a symbol of Kiwi ingenuity, because farmers used it to fix almost anything. On dairy farms cows are milked in a herringbone or rotary shed, and sharemilkers run a herd on someone else's land for a share of the income. Sheep farmers dock and drench their lambs, and topdressing planes spread fertiliser over the hill country.
The grid is eighteen by eighteen and the words run in all eight directions, including backwards. Number eight wire is the longest with fifteen letters, written NUMBEREIGHTWIRE without spaces. Electric fence has thirteen, and herringbone, topdressing, sharemilker, milking shed and water trough have eleven each. Ewes, rams and ute are the short ones that hide, and Friesian and Jersey are the only dairy breeds on the list.
This sheet works well in the smoko room or at a rural school. Afterwards, see who can explain topdressing, docking and drenching without looking anything up.
