Kikitangeo Romney Stud
Kikitangeo is the name of the mountain on the back of the original farm taken up by the present owner,Gordon Levet's grandfather and grand uncle in 1874. Being the first landowners, they developed a farm from the original bush.
The philosophy of this stud is to breed highly productive sheep that can thrive under NZ’s most challenging environments. With this programme sheep will develop strong and quick responsive immune systems which will ensure survival and productivity in less challenging environments.

The Annual Ram Sale will be held on the property on Wednesday, 4 December 2019, commencing at 12 noon. The sale catalogue will be available by download on the Annual Ram Sale page mid-November, or you can request a hard copy be posted to you using the form below.
