Wellsford farmer and Romney stud breeder Gordon Levet has been honoured with one of NZ’s top sheep industry awards.
At the Beef & Lamb Awards in Masterton this month, Mr Levet received the Innovation Award for his work over many years breeding worm-resistant sheep. He said he was especially proud to win the award because he came from the “worst place in NZ” to breed sheep. “You don’t put in a lifetime of work to win awards, but when they come, they are much appreciated,” he said.
Mr Levet farms Kikitangeo, a farm originally taken up by his grandfather and great uncle in 1874. Mr Levet is pictured receiving his award with wife Trish.
