Lamb survival is always a hot topic, especially as producers increase their scanning percentages and improve their feeding practices, leading to more multiples. This week on the podcast, we have Amy Lockwood, whose research has focused various aspects of lamb survival.

Great to have Steve Bolt from Claypans Merino Stud visit us at Murdoch last week. Appreciate the effort every year to willingly give up his time and travel from Corrigin to share his wisdom on sheep classing with our Ag Science students. Passionate about young people in Ag.

If you’ve ever battled footrot, you’ll know the temptation of chasing a quick fix– but as Mark Ferguson explains in his latest article- there’s no silver bullet. Breeding resistant sheep relies on sound genetics, measurable outcomes, & the Footrot EBV. buff.ly/3z0PIud
