My husband finished off some Xmas pudding the other night and found the Shilling (1960). Two things come to mind, some traditions are worth preserving, and haven't we come a long way with Merino breeding.

Great to have Georgie Quade Charles Sturt University 4th yr Ag, doing work placement with us, out today fleece weighing & FD sampling, 9 shearers at Futter Park. We love sharing knowledge & experience with young people wanting to have a go, we always learn something too.

Great work Adele Smith we will be there.

We recently collected WEC samples @bellalanamerinos. It is great to see more ram breeders measuring animal health traits. Looking at the rams coming in, you wouldn't know the range was Zero eggs per gram to 32k.... you can't select for it unless you measure it to generate ASBVs

A great competition bringing key production drivers to the test.

Great reminders for Producers and the industry as a whole Your mate says they’re fine. Ask them two more times “Be nosey not sorry” “Tough, is actually talking” #lambex24

Some good highlights here. How good will it be when we all work together!

Next Mon (9 Sept) we host the 2nd field day for our MLA PDS ‘Optimising Ewe Lamb Joining Outcomes’ at Tallimba NSW. Our host @darrylkitto will have his ewe lambs that have lambed on display, just ready to wean. Get a project update + other key info. trybooking.com/CUBNV
