Stock A large part of the property is devoted to sheep, and 4,000 Romney breeding ewes and a supporting flock of hoggets are carried. This number of sheep provides very adequately for the training of students in
sheep management and in shearing and wool handling which is taught in a modern six-stand shed. A small Romney stud flock has been established through the generosity of members of the Romney Marsh Breed Society. Two hundred and sixty acres are devoted largely to dairying. The herd has been developed from donated weaned calves which have come from all the dairying districts of Otago and Southland. At present one hundred cows are being milked, but this will grow to one hundred and fifty. A modern herringbone shed with round yard provides excellent facilities for student instruction. A piggery unit is at present under construction. A small Hereford stud is also being developed and already seven heifers and the use of a stud sire have been given by Breed Society Members.
