Setting New Standards in the New Zealand Sheep Industry

Ever since Captain James Cook drove the first sheep onto our shores in 1773, the prosperity of New Zealand was to follow that of our sheep farmers. From the very beginning New Zealand’s sheep farmers have shown remarkable capacity for innovation, constantly striving to retain our leading edge in the world’s sheep industry.

The meat industry is the most phenomenal success story in New Zealand’s economic history. New Zealand has become the meat science centre of the world, with substantial financial rewards for those producers who have exploited new developments in science and technology.

Although the Stewart family has farmed sheep at Hiwinui since 1886, the most rapid growth has been since Hiwinui Genetics became a performance contributing flock to New Zealand’s two leading sire reference progeny testing groups:
