Farming and Suppliers
Grow your farming business with sheep milk; join the Southern Hemisphere's largest sheep milking company.
Consumer demand for sheep milk is growing rapidly
Globally, consumer demand for high-quality specialty dairy products is growing rapidly and Spring Sheep are well positioned to take advantage of this growth. The New Zealand Sheep Farming model is rapidly evolving and is now highly compelling; the introduction of imported specialised dairy sheep genetics and farming system improvements has shifted the industry to be economically sustainable with improving returns each season. The lower environmental impact of sheep milking and the ability to use existing dairy infrastructure makes the farming model an ideal opportunity for current dairy farmers looking to convert.
Benefits of sheep milking with Spring Sheep
01
New Zealand owned and operated
We are the only New Zealand exporter of sheep milk that is wholly New Zealand owned/operated and are very proud of this.
02
Productive farming models
The optimal sheep dairying system for New Zealand requires high-performance dairy genetics in combination with a farm system that utilises New Zealand’s pastoral advantage.
03
High-performance Zealandia® dairy sheep genetics
We’ve developed our own proprietary Zealandia® breeding programme with superior productivity, one that could weather the New Zealand conditions and also produce a lot of milk, and that could provide our farmer suppliers with certainty that they will be sustainable.
