Josh Jackson was trying to round up one particular sheep on his Taupo farm when he decided to take a slightly different approach.
Not wanting his dogs to scare or trample on the sheep, he decided to let his woolly friend ride shotgun, putting him in the passenger seat of his Polaris Ranger.
"I had the dogs on the back and I didn't want to be too rough with the sheep and tie it up or have the dogs stand on him," Mr Jackson said this week.
"So I thought, oh well, I'll try stick him in the front seat and see how that goes.
"I put the seat belt on him and it held him in there quite well and he didn't kick or anything. He seemed quite happy so I just went with it."
Mr Jackson's image, which was taken in 2016, re-emerged after it was entered in a Polaris Ranger competition to win a side-by-side farm vehicle.
The photo competition has closed and the winner will be announced on Sunday.
