lifetimewool has a series of pages that deal with ewe managment issues in more detail.  The basis of these topics include the analysis of experimental and paddock scale work across southern Australia. 

Further analysis of the 'economic optimum' for managing ewe flocks is continuing and will shape the Optimum Ewe Managment Profiles that are found in the regional ewe guidelines.
