Arapawa Ram
The Arapawa ram is one of New Zealand's most distinctive trophies — a wild, free-ranging sheep descended from stock left on Arapawa Island generations ago. With their dark fleece, dramatic curling horns and wary, feral nature, they are a world away from any farm animal.
At Rawhiti these rams range the open tussock faces and rocky slopes, offering a rewarding spot-and-stalk hunt for a truly unique, heavy-horned trophy — and a wonderful addition to any multi-species high-country adventure.
Rams of the Estate
Heavy Horns, Wild Blood
Arapawa rams carry impressive, deeply curling horns that thicken and lengthen with age into full-curl trophies of real character. Their dark, shaggy fleece and rugged build set them apart from any domestic sheep.
Truly wild and free-ranging, these rams are sharp-eyed and quick to move, making for an engaging stalk across the estate's tussock and rock. A mature ram is a handsome, unusual trophy that always draws attention.
Curl, Character & Colour
From heavy full curls to striking colour and cape, no two Arapawa rams are the same. Whether taken on their own or as part of a multi-species hunt, they make a memorable and rewarding addition to the trophy room.
