Stud Sires

Glengarry 498-22

The highest priced Poll Dorset purchased so far this year in New Zealand.

From a stud with top figures for NZTW & growth, they have also focused on having good feet. These are why we have purchased from Glengarry to help progress our stud.

498-22 stood out from the rest of the rams at the sale with his outstanding carcass shape and heavier bone along with the Glengarry figures and feet. This is why he was hot property. Even in these tougher times we are investing for the future for both our clients and our own farming operation.

These are the sires pushing our stud forward

Ohio 298-22 & 157-22

These two home bred rams have exceptional meat and growth. They both fit our quest to match both physical constitution and performance on SIL.

Ohio 298-22 (left) stood out very early on with good growth, eye muscle and well-shaped hindquarters, he was used as a ram lamb.

Ohio 157-22 (right) has an impressive lineage going back to our oldest surviving ewe 217/11 (still in our stud) who has produced top stud rams. He ranks 5th in our stud for NZTW and stands out physically.

Wharetoa Genetics Texel A75-22

The top ram on paper and structurally, sired by Blackdale 85-20 (sold for $20,000)

Both Wharetoa and Blackdale have a maternal and terminal focus on their Texels making them a good option for our Poll Dorset Texel cross rams.

A75-22 stood out among his pairs with the very rare combination of physical soundness and being top on the breeding index.

We have purchased him in combination with another stud, which will give the bonus of good across flock analysis connectedness.

Ohio 261/23, 59/23 & 248/23

These home bred sires are all twins with plenty of growth and meat. They have all been used as ram lambs in the stud and have grown out nicely.

Ohio 261/23 (left) is sired by Carelton 22/20 and is our top ram on SIL, he is a very clean, tidy ram.

Ohio 59/23 (middle) is sired by Adelong 128/20 and would be in the front row of any scrum, his mother is a daughter of Ohio 40/18 who is a heavy boned meaty ram. He has the rare combination of growth, meat and an IMF of 1.

Ohio 248/23 (right) is sired by Ohio 298/22 (who is above). He is a medium framed ram with the typical Ohio 298/22 shape and growth. Ohio 298/22 has bred a tremendous line of rams and ewes from his mating as a ram lamb.
