Side sampling our 2026 Ram Hoggets

13/07/2026

It's been a busy past few weeks here at Te Whangai!
With some of our ewes due for their 8-month shear, we welcomed the Paewai Mullins Shearing LTD .

The other half of the the ewes, which were shorn back in February, received a full crutch ahead of lambing thanks to the team at Flipp'in Crutching Park here girls will be shorn again in December.

Behind the scenes, Colin has been busy cleaning out the yards to keep the wool as clean as possible and make things easier when the weather turned.

Some days the weather likes to remind you who’s in charge! 💨
Fair howling here this morning, but it doesn’t worry these girls - they’re well used to it up here, we cop plenty of wind.

Tewhangai Romneys. Bred for the conditions.

Winter rotations are well underway, all the ewes are spread amongst 2 mobs, this mob consists of 4500 ewes made up of some commercial and all stud 2tooth and MA ewes - less the golden oldies.
A mob of 1500 stud ram Hoggets are in the lead of this rotation taking the best pick, with the ewes trailing to clean the paddocks up.
Here’s one of our shepherds out shifting them on a stunner day ☀️🐑

Pretty happy with the condition of the Stud 2T and MA ewes when the ram came out a week ago

Weve been a bit quiet on here lately…but rest assured, it’s been anything but quiet on farm.
Alongside stock work and fencing, the team have been making the most of the dry weather by re-rocking tracks and keeping infrastructure in good shape.

Thanks for the help Woody Bike Tech ltd

Here’s a snap of our ram lambs that came in for a sort as part of our resilience programme.
This mob is 1200 strong, and none of these lambs have ever been drenched.

They’ve been run as a single mob and rotated across hill country, so they’ve had to perform under real farming conditions from day one.

Over the next week, we’ll bring the resilience testing phase to a close as part of this, each ram will be weighed for live weight at 8 months of age (LW8) and assessed with a dag score.

This is where performance is exposed and we begin to identify the rams that combine growth, resilience, and the ability to thrive without intervention.
