What breed are your sheep? Our base flock is Romney, a dual purpose breed that originated in England and is very
popular in New Zealand. Over the years, we have introduced Dorset, Dorper, Shetland, and
Border Leicester, usually by purchasing a ram and using him for breeding the flock. We
continually try new cross-bred combinations to develop an animal which works well with our
management system and within the local ecology of the pastures we graze. |
