AGRI BUSINESS
NEWSELLS PARK
THE COMPANY Newsells Park Stud owns around 550 hectares of land near Newmarket,
UK, one of the world’s foremost horse-breeding centres. The stud accommodates 100
high-quality broodmares, producing approximately 80 foals each year. The majority of
these foals are sold as yearlings the following year at all the key auctions in the UK,
Ireland, France and Germany. A small number are retained to race to provide further
commercial sales opportunities or future breeding stock for the stud.
Newsells Park Stud’s initial crops of yearlings have already demonstrated their class on
the racecourse, winning Group races in England, France and Germany, while sales prices
obtained for the more recent crop of yearlings sold have been extremely encouraging,
indicating success and strength for the future. Newsells Park Stud has recently invested in
the infrastructure required to stand stallions in the belief that the addition of a commercial
stallion operation will assist Newsells in achieving its long term plans.
INVERSORA ROLAND
THE COMPANY Inversora Roland owns two estancias in Argentina: San Ramón and
Garaia. Both farms breed cattle for meat and sheep for wool. A special herd of
Herefordshire has made a successful contribution to the business of both farms, while
the sheep herd has been producing high-quality wool of an average of 19 microns. Both
products – meat and wool – have been a success for Inversora Roland.
