Our vision is to breed a functional, high producing sheep with a balance of high fertility, outstanding mothering ability, high growth rate and excellent wool production; all this while being run under a challenging commercial environment.
Performance recorded for nearly 40 years. Wai-iti brings to the market high quality, modern-type Romney and crossbred rams.
Located at Puketiritiri, a typically summer dry farm varying from easy to medium hill country, where despite challenging times around land use changes and diminishing national sheep numbers, we are a front player in breeding a hardy type of Romney rams with genetic grunt for farmers across the country.
The type of sheep we are breeding need to be robust and of the right type to firstly get in lamb as a hogget, then turn around and get back in lamb and wean to a high standard.
Founded in hill country Alfreton in 1975, Wai-iti Romneys are now based 20 minutes east of Masterton at summer dry Puketiritiri; a farm of great potential, proving to be an excellent environment to challenge our sheep.
