Testimonials
Northern Dawn rams have lifted our Texel prime lamb weights consistently; sound structure, great temperament, and progeny that finish quickly off grass in the Waikato.
— Coopworth Farmer Waikato
Northern Dawn genetics have added IMF, double muscling and excellent conformation without sacrificing lambing ease. We will keep the ewe lambs as replacements.
— Mike, Hawkes Bay
The stud’s genetics and communication are first class; When our stock agent came to visit he wanted to know where we got the genetics from.
— Hawkes Bay
We sourced sires from Northern Dawn for our commercial flock; lambs are robust, tidy-headed, and grading in the top brackets with minimal extra inputs.
— Ram buyer, King Country
