A stud standing the test of time

Since starting out in 1959 Rowallan has stood the test of time. It is in top ten oldest studs in the state, and only one of these has more breeding ewes.

Over the last 15 years, Rowallan has been run by Matt Reid and his Family. We have been putting great emphasis on increasing important traits, while not losing sight of maintaining balance and having a ram that is visually appealing.

This approach has combined great figures with a great-looking ram – exactly what is required for today’s market.

Best Poll Dorset genetics

Since the outset we have stopped at nothing to use the best genetics available, purchasing rams, ewes and semen from all of the leading studs in the country, and using many industry-leading sires of our own. Joining up with LambPlan in the late 80’s, performance recording is something we believe strongly in. We believe that measuring the important traits of the industry such as birth weight, growth and eye muscle is a no-brainer.

Combining natural joining and the use of AI, we are able to get the best Poll Dorset genetics into our stud in the fastest possible time.
