"When you take away 25 per cent of our levy, 25-30pc of the wool clip and when wool prices fall by 800 cents a kilogram, that's going to have a big impact on our revenue," he said. ‘Our’ levy? You mean grower’s levy. farmonline.com.au/story/6785118/…

Australian Wool Innovation has mislead senators by claiming its WoolQ platform has addressed market failure in the wool selling system and is an alternative to the auction trade’s Talman system, industry figures believe 👉 loom.ly/jD7RvdM #SheepCentral

Martin Oppenheimer Electronic wool selling platforms like eWool run by private company were around 20 years ago & now have Auctions plus. How was selling on Wool Q a new thing? I'm confused too!

Mark Ferguson AuctionsPlus Love that saying, but not much consolation to a breeder who buys a genetic package for a reason, only to find out they contain hardly any of the genetics they were chasing.

First double digit rainfall event since February. Hoping this might kickstart some “green” feed for the sheep and get the rest of the crop out of the ground

Making the most of what feed is available. Using hot wires to split a 75ha paddock into 3 smaller lots to house twin ewes for lambing.

This is 160003. We've used him over 160 AI ewes and half of the ET donors. He has was actually an ET lamb himself from the last two straws of semen we had from an old sire. Some great figures on this guy and his offspring. 👍🏼

Our ewe lambs are only a week off lambing! We're grazing them on a mix of tetraploid and diploid ryegrass sown for this very purpose. The girls are looking great. This is our 10th year of joining ewe lambs and year on year they impress us with mothering ability and growth rates

Never been a better time to consider joining Merino ewe lambs BUT still do the sums carefully and attention to detail is critical. Some key factors to consider based on our work on commercial farms including #MoojepinMerino summarised in a few slides Murdoch University Research Meat & Livestock Australia

Tom Granleese Meat & Livestock Australia Very disappointed. I can't view more than 12 traits at any time to compare animals or even export that data, and even then it takes a lot of scrolling just to see those few traits. To search by index should be a choice not the default.

Rodney Watt JB Tancred GRASS Merinos Mark Mortimer Doug Leahcim Gordon Refshauge Sally Martin Not sure about anyone else but if I’m looking for ram tag number 268 in a list of 400 rams I find it useful if it’s sitting between 267 and 269.Much harder to find if it’s sitting somewhere in a group of 400 rams ranked on a index I don’t even use.
