Welcome to the Rosedale Romneys
Les Morrison, vintage Rosedale Romneys.
Rosedale Romneys are farmed on 600 hectares in the Waikaka Valley. 1500 stud/performance recorded ewes are farmed as part of the commercial operation, with a stocking rate of 7su/acre wintered in 1999. Since 1990 wool production has averaged 7.95kg/su (8.85kg/su inc. slipe), lamb killing weights 16kg and lamb production over 20 lambs/ha.
Mission Statement
Production in an intensive system is our main objective, with the competition effect our strongest culling tool. Rosedale Rams bred under this system shift well to different location, from the Southland Plains to the North Island Hill Country. We have a responsibility as breeders to supply only rams which are capable of lifting clients' production. Every Ram we sell has the ability to do this.
