Top lambs require top rams<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> rams are the secret to<br />
breeding mintcondition lambs,<br />
according to Marlborough farmers Ali<br />
and Stu Campbell.<br />
The Marlborough fatherandson duo<br />
paid tribute to ram breeders Chris and<br />
Jane Earl, of Scargill in <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>, after being announced as<br />
the winners of the <strong>Canterbury</strong> A&P<br />
Association mint lamb competition on<br />
Friday.<br />
“It’s nice to give some recognition to<br />
Marlborough, but we couldn’t do it<br />
without our ram breeder,” Stu Campbell<br />
said.<br />
“Chris and Jane look after us well and<br />
we appreciate what they do for us. We’ve<br />
been buying their rams for the last six<br />
years.<br />
“We are on the same page for what<br />
they’re breeding and what we want to<br />
achieve.”<br />
The Campbells first entered the mint<br />
lamb competition last year, winning the<br />
the tenderness class, but the lamb was<br />
“all fat” when it came to overall<br />
honours, Stu Campbell said.<br />
This year they entered two lambs,<br />
being placed first equal in the 14.6kg to<br />
19.9kg class and winning the 20kg to<br />
24.9kg class.<br />
The Campbells have 117ha at Spring<br />
Creek, near Seddon, and 400ha at<br />
Awatere Valley, running amixed sheep<br />
farm with 1400 ewes and avineyard.<br />
“They work in well together,” Stu<br />
Campbell said.<br />
“For us, the sheep are the leaf<br />
pluckers to open up the fruit and then<br />
once we’ve harvested the grapes you’ve<br />
got that platform to graze.”<br />

competition three times, won the new<br />

The ram breeders’ class was<br />
introduced this year as aseparate<br />
competition to stud breeders and to<br />
open up the mint lamb competition for<br />
commercial farmers.<br />
