Breeding top quality Swedish Gotland lines in NZ

Welcome to Tawhai Gotland Sheep Stud

Located in the heart of Canterbury on our 40 acre property, we run 50 Swedish / Danish Gotlands ewes alongside our Suffolk, and Lincon stud ewes.  Our Gotland genetics are almost completely imported Swedish and Danish genetics now. We have down sized from 800 breeding ewes in 2025 to 50 in 2026 (due to farm sale), keeping only the superior ewes.

Our Gotlands ewes produce the finest quality wool and pelts which we are pleased to offer for sale through our online store.

About Gotland Wool Products

Through our specialised breeding programme, we have managed to produce superior wool fleeces and wool products. With improved Swedish genetics we are seeing new standards of colour and texture emerge. Below are a few examples of how the fleeces can differ depending on the genetics. We are very lucky to have champion shearer Allan Oldfield to shear our sheep, he is super careful shearer which is great for the animals and the wool produced. Our team of wool handlers carefully skirt and sort the beautiful fleeces our sheep produce to ensure our product is optimal.
