Sharpes Stock Feeds Ltd
Areas Covered
New Zealand
Founded by John Sharpe in Petone in 1899, the business was built around the needs of the small farmers and particularly horse-drawn transport in the Hutt Valley.
In 1937, Alan Orsborn bought the business and to this day Sharpes is still owned and operated by the Orsborn family.
In the 1950s there were major changes in the feeding of intensive livestock, especially poultry and pigs. Sharpes developed with these changes and is today manufacturing nutritionally balanced rations for all farm livestock. Poultry feeds for egg-laying birds remain the core element of the business.
In 1980 Sharpes Feedmill relocated its manufacturing operation from Lower Hutt to rural Wairarapa where much of the grain used in the manufacturing process is grown.
In 1991 a computerised batching system was installed which greatly increased our ability to produce rations that reflected the needs of intensive livestock farming.
2006 sees another major upgrade, which allows us to produce feeds for Mônogastric Animals and Ruminant Animals on completely separate production lines.
We manufacture and supply feeds for the following: Calf / Dairy / Stock including Goats, Sheep, Deer and Cattle / Poultry / Horse / Pig / Rabbit.
Livestock - You Breed it - We Feed it ! Sharpes Stock Feeds is a family owned business that has been supplying animal feeds for over 100 years.
