Our Story
Situated over 750m above sea level, in the Southern Highlands of NSW, Pine Hill is a specialist stud run by Geoff and Nikki Lomman. We specialise in breeding quality sheep which are usually sold at around 18 months old. We have two properties, one near Bowral and the second in the high rainfall red soil pastures of Robertson.
Geoff has over thirty years’ experience as a professional vegetable agronomist, so his priority has been to renovate the previously run down pastures, and he now maintains soil fertility to ensure the best nutrition possible for our sheep. We have installed strip grazing which helps get the best productivity from the pastures, and minimises the need for drenching against worms.
After initially running Dorpers, we changed to Wiltipolls in 2016, and have been extremely pleased with their good temper, shedding and mothering. The recent drought has also demonstrated our Wiltipolls’ ability as good doers, showing weight gain, good resilience, and maintaining high marking percentages, even under very trying conditions.
We breed from the best available bloodlines, producing stock with a range of desirable traits including strong composition, black hooves and long bodies which we are very proud of.
We are proud members of the Australian Stud Sheep Breeders Association (ASSBA) and the Wiltipoll Sheep Breeders Association (WSBA). Our stud sheep come with a pedigree, can be registered with ASSBA, and conform to the breed standards.
