Spring Sheep: A Leader in Sheep Dairy Production

Spring Sheep, based in New Zealand, stands at the forefront of the sheep dairy industry. The company has made significant strides in productivity, offering competitive farmgate payouts to suppliers, ranging from $15.50 to $16.00 per kg of milk solids. This competitive payout strategy is part of their effort to recruit new supplier farms and bolster their milk production capabilities.

Innovative Breeding Program

A key element of Spring Sheep's success is its 'Zealandia' genomic breeding program. This initiative focuses on breeding high-yielding ewes that are well-suited for pastoral grazing, ensuring a sustainable and efficient dairy production process.

Product Portfolio and Market Expansion

Spring Sheep processes the majority of its milk into branded consumer products. A notable product in their lineup is an infant formula, which has been registered with China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), opening lucrative opportunities in the Chinese market. Additionally, the company is expanding its distribution networks in Southeast Asia, particularly in Vietnam and Malaysia, to tap into the growing demand for dairy products in these regions.

Strategic Partnerships and Investments

Spring Sheep is a company in which Pāmu holds a majority stake. To support its senior-nutrition business, Spring Sheep received an equity investment from China’s Sharejoy Group.
