Located in the heart of Canterbury on our 600 acre property, we run 450 Swedish Gotlands ewes alongside our Suffolk, and Teeswater stud ewes. Having recognised the opportunity to introduce the superior Swedish genetics into New Zealand and we are slowly increasing the percentage of Swedish genetics and the quality of products produced.
Our Gotlands ewes also produce the finest quality wool and pelts which we are pleased to offer for sale through our online store.
Through our specialised breeding programme, we have managed to produce superior wool fleeces and wool products. With improved Swedish genetics we are seeing new standards of colour and texture emerge. Below are a few examples of how the fleeces can differ depending on the genetics. We are very lucky to have champion shearer Allan Oldfield to shear our sheep, he is super careful shearer which is great for the animals and the wool produced. Our team of wool handlers carefully skirt and sort the beautiful fleeces our sheep produce to ensure our product is optimal.
