Snow-capped mountain peaks towering over our tussock blocks and pastures in the Kakanui range, North Otago, may be harsh surroundings for farming – however this environment produces high performing Perendale, Romdale and Perendale-Texel genetics that are ideally suited to the extremes of New Zealand and Australian farming.
What our clients say…
“Newhaven genetics provide the whole package for us. Great constitution, high fertility and top quality lambs – all from tough, hardy sheep that are bred to perform in our challenging environment.”
“We have used Newhaven rams for the past 14 years. They have turned our ewes into good free moving sheep that hang on through tough conditions and climb to the top High Country – with great survival rates and easy care lambing.”
“Over the past 15 years of using Newhaven genetics we have been able to move our weaning date forward a whole month. High survival even in a harsh snow-laden lambing, quick growth to weaning and all round robust performance. We would have no hesitation in recommending Newhaven rams to anyone that wants a high performance yet low input sheep flock”
“Our climate here at Garton Downs tests both man and beast all year round – with a long Winter and often very short growing season. Newhaven Perendales are reliable no matter what the season throws at them, high performing and have been a game changer for our flock.”
