don morrison
Apart from general farming duties DON runs the Growbulk and Romney Studs, concentrating on all the extra work that needs to be done. Time consuming and tedious tasks with an attention to detail is often what is required to analyse and fine tune decisions for the best possible result. The challenge is worth the result. A B.Com.(Ag) from Lincoln University and 4 years work in London Financial Markets helped focus the attention to detail.

A great attitude to work and all people from Michael typifies what we look for from our whole work force.

lochie
Finishing his International Business degree at Otago University LOCHIE is the sixth generation of the family to farm at Rosedale. Limited to University holidays most of Lochie’s farm work revolves around a handpiece or a drench gun which is the best way to help pay back a Student Loan.
dirk
Halfway through an Engineering Degree at Canterbury University DIRK doesn’t as yet have quite as big a Student Loan as his older brother but still contributes every holiday with the same enthusiasm on the shearing board. It is a pleasure to farm the Rosedale property and offer a future to farm for both Dirk and Lochie.
