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, Texel, Katahdin, Tunis, and Border Leicester, usually by purchasing a ram and using him for breeding the flock.

Mark continually researches and tries 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.
