The Sheep CRC Updates will feature Sheep CRC research results and information that can be applied on farm now, as well as highlight the Sheep CRC’s new opportunities for further training and information.

With the Sheep CRC halfway through its seven-year term, we have new results, information and practices for both lamb and wool producers as well as ram breeders, no matter what breed of sheep they run. This covers:

• Optimising both reproduction and lifetime production from your ewes
• Winning the battles against the sheep industry’s two greatest problems: worms and blowflies
• Producing lamb and sheep meat for increasingly discerning consumers interested in taste and nutritional qualities, while maintaining your yield.
• Wool production for comfort and colour
• Integrating the array of new and improved genetic tools into your selection program—including new ASBVs, and indexes, and applying the  knowledge on the interactions between various traits, in particular between meat, wool, reproduction and disease resistance.
