"THE Perendale is exactly the right mix of resilience and performance, producing high grading meat and quality wool, even in the harshest of environments,” said one of New Zealand’s most experienced sheep breeders, David Ruddenklau.

A vision to produce a more robust and efficient sheep led the Fletcher and Boyer families to search New Zealand for elite bloodlines over 15 years ago.

“With an impressive Perendale base of 28,000 scrutinised and registered stud ewes, New Zealand was the right place to start," said Trudy Boyer.

In 2011, Malcolm Fletcher alongside his daughter and son-in-law, Trudy and Tony Boyer, airfreighted a flock of elite registered stud ewes from New Zealand’s largest progressive Perendale stud, Newhaven Perendales – marking the establishment of Mount Monmot Perendales Stud in Skipton, Victoria.

“We have watched with interest the move in New Zealand away from composite and fine wool breeds, as farmers seek tolerance to footrot, easy-care, self-replacement and good returns for both their meat and their wool," said Trudy.

“We are delighted to have built up a sizeable pure Perendale stud at Mount Monmot over the past thirteen years," added Tony.

Numbers allow them to be strict on culling for all traits (both physical and breeding values) and keep their Perendales as pure New Zealand genetics, which excel even in a low-input situation of nil-drench or minimum drench regimes.

These Perendale bloodlines have attracted a lot of interest from Australian farmers with all types of base sheep breeds, aiming to infuse these traits into their current flock.

Many are composite breeders drawn to the Perendales resilience, tolerance, efficiency and productive longevity.
