Success stories
Every breeder will tell you of "..superior growth rates, high wool weights, constitution and fertility.." At Rosedale Romneys we give you the difference: "... Defined goals, a clear strategy, comprehensive objective measurement and a true emphasis on commercial production..." An increasing number of clients from all over New Zealand will tell you there is a difference"
The difference is the genetic progress Rosedale can offer you in every production trait.
"We've been using Rosedale Romneys for the last eight years and Rosedale Growbulks for the last two. Production has risen every year since we started using them. A high performing base with a tough attitude"
James Paterson, Northern Southland
"The Morrison family partnership are consistently achieving improvement and production from their Romney Stud and commercial sheep as a result of their sheep breeding programme. This improvement is reflected in the good financial results being recorded by their farming operation"
Barry Roberts, Bank of New Zealand
The difference is the genuine emphasis on commercial production.
"We have had a 19% increase in scanned lamb numbers in the last four years since moving to Rosedale Rams, and a 15% increase in lambing percentage over the initial three years, with this years figures incomplete, notwithstanding two consecutive years of drought."
Wes Flannery, Central Otago
"I shear a lot of sheep every year and Rosedale is the one place you don't break any records.Strong, tough sheep with a lot of wool. You know you have done a good days work when you leave Rosedale.
Peter Robertson, Gore
The difference is that Rosedale Romneys perform where they go.
"It's pretty steep here, up to 900m, and it's all horse country. What we want is performance but what we also need is toughness and survivability. That is what we are getting at Waingakia Station from Rosedale Romneys. Good hardy rams that get around the hills up here."
Jim White, Ruatoria,Gisborne
After trying different Romney Rams, and crossing Coopworths over our flock, we have come back to Rosedale Romneys because of their consistency and quality. Performance continues to rise."
Jeremy McPhail, Southland
