Our Story

RANGIATEA

Rangiatea is a working hill-country farm at the foot of the Mt. Somers range, Canterbury. We have built our reputation around three complementary breeds, Beltex for supreme meat yield, Perendale for hardy high-fertility ewes, and Cheviot for vigour and resilience.

Our stud rams are available for on-farm viewing and annual ram sales. Contact Hamish directly to discuss your requirements.
