316. Newhaven — David & Robyn Ruddenklau, Blair and Jane Smith


Newhaven genetics are highly regarded for their proven ability to produce high-yielding, robust progeny under challenging hill-country conditions. Newhaven stud ewes have been run under a nil-drench regime since 1996 on extensive tussock blocks at altitude and are continually challenged. Newhaven's substantial stud ewe base along with the utilisation of leading-edge technology have resulted in outstanding genetic gains with emphasis on weaning weight, meat yield and survivability. Progeny sired by Newhaven genetics continue to perform impressively throughout both the North and South Islands. www.NewhavenPerendales.co.nz
