Today on The Country Jamie Mackay caught up with Stephanie Tweed for a chat about her historic win at the New Zealand Sheepdog Trail Championship with her trusty huntaway Grit.

Nathan Penny:

Peter Nation:

Eight sleeps to go! The countdown continues as we catch up with the chief executive of the 51st National Agricultural Fieldays.
