Our family have been involved in farming since 1876, and over that time we have owned 17 farms and stations. There are many facets to being a successful farm and station. Some of the aspects that we focus on as part of our enterprise are:

• We specialize on breeding high performance sheep and cattle to run on our 2 high country stations.
• We are leaders in the use of the latest DNA technology available for improving the production and genetics of our sheep and cattle.
• We care deeply about the environment and are extremely proud to be a part of the New Zealand Government’s Carbon Sink Strategy which is a 50 year commitment by us.
• We are now using the latest “Genomic” DNA technology, which will enable us to identify genetically superior animals at an early age.
• We have developed two of our own trademarked breeds of sheep – the Snowline™ and The Ranger™. From these two trademarked breeds we produce elite rams – for our own use and to sell to our expanding clientele.
• We have secured the trademarks for both Snowline™ and Ranger™ meat and wool.
• Our Snowline™ breeding programme is now well advanced for our ram clients to successfully produce 26-27 micron Snowline™ wool. In the future for our Snowline™ trademarked clothing, scarves, hats and shoes.
