Michael McCombs (27), a contract milker in Normanby, says it is great to make the regional finals again.
"I made it to the regional finalsheld in Wellington two years ago and the year previously I made it to the regionals held in Hāwera. I've never been through to the grand finals."
Michael, moved to Taranaki last year. Before moving to Taranaki, he was a contract milker in the Manawatū.
"I've moved around a lot for jobs. I've lived in Taranaki, Wellington and Wairarapa."
