The sheep that grow our merino fibre in New Zealand’s Southern Alps graze on pasture in free range conditions all year long, and are given extra feed at times of slow pasture growth. High country farmers – many of whose families have farmed the land for generations – have developed the stockmanship necessary to keep their sheep healthy and content, which ensures their farms remain productive."
