Seven Great Reasons for buying Wairere Rams
- Wairere Rams are proven winners. Wairere rams are like the All Blacks. Proven, predictable, profitable. Over six hundred farmers use Wairere rams and enjoy the benefits.
- Wairere rams bounce back after a hard time. Wairere is a harsh testing ground. A high stocking rate on second class hill country does the culling, “let the fittest survive.”
- Wairere rams add value to your stock. New Zealand’s best known brand often creates a premium for sale stock: store lambs, ewe lambs, two-tooth ewes, five-year ewes. If you sell your farm, or give up a lease, you can be confident that your capital stock will be keenly sought after.
- Wairere rams are backed by scale. Twenty one thousand Wairere ewes produce Romney, Composite and Dominator rams for sale. Big numbers allow heavy selection pressure.
- Wairere rams have been around a long time. Wairere has been the number one brand by sales over the past twenty five years. The foundation was set in 1929, when Len Daniell started a registered Romney stud.
- Wairere rams have sexy sisters. Ewe hoggets must get in lamb to be retained.
- Wairere rams reduce your workload. All ewe hoggets have been mated since 1966, and lambed unshepherded. We cull heavily on dags, feet, and other basics. Easycare is key to happy sheep farming.
