Here at Armidale in the Maniototo, Central Otago, New Zealand we aim to breed a large robust Merino while maintaining a quality fleece and structural soundness.  Our rams our renowned for their ability to shift into extreme environments and still perform.  We continually benchmark ourselves against others both at shows and through commercial profitability. Sale rams have data collected on fleece and carcass traits as well as breeding values for those that want them.
