Huntleigh Station is a sheep and beef property of just under 6500ha, situated about 95km southwest of Dunedin.
Chittock is now head shepherd and her role involves looking after the top two blocks on the farm, as well as stock movements, helping juniors and ''a lot of yard work''.
Chittock said she loved working there and ''the sunshine is great''.
The size of the property allowed her to have a team of dogs - the highlight of her job.
She now has eight of her own and said she was lucky because the large size of the property meant she could have them in work all the time.
