From Checkpoint, 4:44 pm on 3 September 2025

A West Coast dairy farmer has credited his good old gumboots for saving his life when he was struck by lightening while out on his quad bike herding cows early Monday morning. The boots were Skellerup Quattros and Chris called the company to let them they were absolute life savers. Head of Skellerup's rural division, Dino Kudrass spoke to Lisa Owen.
