It's about the land they were kept on and if you've never been to or come from New Zealand i'll tell you.
That's NZ farm land most if not all farms in New Zealand are like that, the LOTR movies gives a good look at our geography and the land we have to farm we make do with what we have.
Not to mention that New Zealand is constantly hit by earthquakes so the land would be fragile.
