We've done it all.

PAST EXPORTS

We are a specialist exporter of all breeds of stud and commercial livestock. We have experience with shipping all types of animals in a diverse range of vessels to clients all over the world.

Merino sheep

STUD SHEEP IMPROVE SOUTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY

Hedley John is the largest exporter of Australian stud sheep genetics to South America. In particular, Merino rams from high producing Australian studs are popular into Uruguay and Argentina, with growth being seen in new areas, such as Dohne sheep to Chile. 

dairy cattle

QUALITY DAIRY CATTLE IN GLOBAL DEMAND 

Huge growth in the global dairy market has seen demand for quality dairy cattle from Australia and New Zealand soar. Hedley John is active in exporting dairy cattle from both countries to markets like China, Malaysia, and Pakistan.

Red Stag

THE LITTLE KNOWN BREEDER DEER MARKET

While New Zealand is known for its deer farming industry, few would know of tropical species being farmed throughout South East Asia. Hedley John has exported thousands of Rusa and Rusa-Samba deer to Thailand and Malaysia from Australia, where this unique form of agriculture is making a revival.

Dairy goat

DAIRY GOATS - THE NEXT BIG THING

With the health benefits that goats milk offer, dairy goat farming has become a bourgeoning industry. Hedley John is one of the world's largest dairy goat exporters, sending seed stock to operations in Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan and Korea, as well as high quality stud stock into Brazil.

Dorper sheep

BREEDER SHEEP IMPROVE LARGE NATIONAL FLOCKS

Many countries are recognising that new genetics could significantly advance their already large national flocks. Hedley John specialises in quality genetics and can provide these in large consignments or small single figure shipments of elite animals. With sheep going to China, South America, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and North America, Hedley John can assist in getting you the right genetics to your door.

Boer Goats

SHOWING OFF - TOP BOER GOATS ARE WINNERS

Goat is the most widely consumed meat in the world but few think of the value they have as a show piece. So while Hedley John has supplied Brazil its National Grand Champion Boer Goats, it has also sent Boer Goats into Government aid programs in Thailand and East Timor where new breeds are helping people to prosper.
