About us

When we arrived in 2001 the property had been run as a fine wool operation including shedded “Sharlea” merino sheep. With the falling wool prices we made the decision to look for a suitable replacement breed that would provide minimum input and produce both a prime lamb and a useful wool cut.

For us the Perendale breed made it the sheep we were looking for and since then have grown the flock from one ram and twenty two ewes to the present where we maintain a self replacing flock of three hundred ewes, six stud rams and some sixty flock rams that are sold each year to a growing client base here and interstate.

Over the last three years we have steadily introduced genetics from NZ based on two of the top Perendale studs there and now in 2006 we are starting to see a marked improvement in the oncoming progeny. We will continue to AI our stud flock with semen from both ‘Bonnieview’ and ‘Mt Guardian’ for some time to come to ensure improvement of our flock and those of our clients.

In 2006 we have joined ‘Lambplan’ and from now on we should start to see the outcomes from our endeavours translated into useful information for potential buyers of rams be they for Terminal or Maternal Sires.

Along with the prime lamb side of the operation we have also been paying considerable attention to ensuring that we produce top quality wool especially as hogget wool where we are working to establish a vertically integrated marketing system to sell Perendale wool both locally and overseas due to its special characteristics.

As relative newcomers to this industry we feel that Perendales have been a good choice and fulfil all of our objectives that are to have ‘Dual Purpose’ self replacing flock that is hardy and above all easy care.
