Charles Bennett manages his family's Wiltshire Stud about 26km South West of Taihape, which has a ram sale coming up later this month.
Bennett, a former heavy diesel mechanic, highlights the practical benefits of Wiltshire sheep, such as their shedding ability, which eliminates the need for shearing.
He explains how this breed's low maintenance and impressive fertility rates have enhanced farm efficiency, while also boasting a high carcass yield, adding economic value.
With a ram sale set for November 26, the Bennetts are offering 34 top-quality rams, showcasing their commitment to sustainable and efficient farming practices. Interested buyers can explore options both on-farm and online.
