BREEDING RESILIENT, EFFICIENT SHEEP FOR
REAL-WORLD FARMING CONDITIONS
Leaders in FE tolerance, worm resilience, maternal efficiency, and high-survival genetics.
We breed sheep that perform when conditions are at their toughest
not just when they're ideal.
Our flock has been built through decades of selection pressure, real-world testing, and a commitment to breeding animals that thrive under Facial Eczema, parasite challenge, variable feed, and harsh weather.
Our genetics are proven across both stud and commercial operations, delivering efficient maternal ewes, high reproduction and survival, and strong constitution.
FE Tolerance
Providing genuine security against Facial Eczema.
Worm Resilience
Forward-standing WormFEC progress for a drench-resistant future.
Maternal Efficiency
Moderate, productive ewes with high fertility and survival.
Tested by Nature. Proven by Performance.
Born out of adversity and refined over decades, our breeding philosophy centers on resilience, maternal strength, and true efficiency. From our commercial country to yours, our genetics are built to perform under pressure.
"Facial Eczema decimated our ewe flock in 2016, and we knew we needed to find a solution backed by proven, trusted genetics.
That’s what led us to Craig Alexander.
The Alexander facial eczema tolerance genetics, combined with their honesty, integrity, and the quality of their stock, have given us real confidence and the ability to keep farming sheep.
What you see is what you get, with no surprises.
We truly value the relationship we have with Craig and his family, and trust in Alexander Farming Genetics.
Micheal Hindmarsh, Hawkes Bay
"The dedicated, scientific research that Alexander Genetics has done has progressed over many years. It has increased our flock fertility, eczema is rare, and growth rates and carcass weights have increased."
Rick Powdrell, Outlook Farm Ltd.
The key drivers of a profitable Sheep Breeding business are high birth rates, low death rates, and consistent growth rates. Alexander Genetics have been ticking these boxes for Oneriri Station in Northland for twelve years. The Ewes are consistently lambing over 150%. Hoggets 110 – 120%. We have no issues with FE in an area where it is very prevalent.
