Three cows have been luckily - or unluckily - stranded on an island of land, surrounded by collapsed earth from landslides near Kaikoura.
The video footage from Newshub shows two adult cattle and a calf stranded on the small island of grass amidst chaos, after the 12.02am 7.5 magnitude earthquake shook much of the country.
"That is amazing," a passenger on the helicopter from which the footage is being shot can be heard saying.
Fonterra said it expected disruption to milk collection and farms that cannot be reached may have to dispose of their milk.
Miles Hurrell, Fonterra's Farm Source chief operating officer, said the Auckland-based cooperative will contact farmers directly if that was required.
"We're doing our best to reach everyone who is due for collection immediately.
With power out and phone lines down in some areas, that
includes putting Farm Source teams on the road to go door to door to try
to update those farmers with the latest information," he said.
About 30 farms in the Kaikoura region may not have milk collected due to the state of the roads, while others may have late collections as routes are altered, he said.
Mid Canterbury farmers are on standby to take dairy cows from quake-affected North Canterbury dairy farmers.
Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers dairy spokesman Nathan Currie said communication was the biggest problem and knowing what was needed.
"I have plenty of farmers that can take cows to alleviate issues they might have. The next thing is transport and working out the logistics of getting stock out due to road closures.
"We have trucks on standby and people on standby."
