The breeding ewe plays a
pivotal role in the wool
production system - she is
the engine room of the
wool business. It
makes good sense to have her
in the right condition at
the right time as her
condition affects;
-
reproduction
levels and
lamb
survival
-
wool
production of
herself and her
progeny
-
pasture
utilisation and
efficient use of
feed resources
lifetimewool has a series of
ewe and pasture targets that
increase productivity and
profitability of the Merino
sheep enterprise for regions
across southern Australia.
There are also management
guidelines and tools for ewe
flocks at all times of the
year.
The Sheep
CRC supports
and utilises the information
developed by Lifetimewool
within its work and
continues to build on the
findings and recommendations
of the project. This website
is being added to as new
information becomes
available so please visit us
regularly to view new
information and tools.
Lifetimewool was funded and
supported by Australian wool
producers through Australian
Wool Innovation Limited,
state government agencies
and farm businesses.
