The Next Generation of Sheep
The Wilfield Promise
“We promise to add value to your business. We pride ourselves on being the most innovative and performance driven Corriedale stud in New Zealand and at the same time have an open headed, well structured, fine wool, fertile, highly maternal, “meaty” sheep that are footrot resistant.”
We combine good stockmanship with modern technology to breed the next generation of Corriedale.
Our progeny are open headed, more fertile, better milking, meatier and finer wooled—bred to put more money in your pockets!
“ Today's dual purpose sheep must be just that: a ewe that can cope with the extremes of our climate and grow a fleece of excellent colour, crimp and staple formation with high fleece weight; and a ewe that has high fertility and successfully rears lambs through to weaning in minimal time.
The recovery of mid-micron wool prices and consistently improving production traits (Goldmark scheme) combined with DNA testing for footrot resistance, sees today's
Corriedale breed as the ideal choice for many farmers. My clients who use Wilfield Corriedale rams are achieving excellent results. It is a stud making significant genetic gains in all of the above criteria. I have found them to be rams that shift well, to varied climates
- another important attribute.
