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.
This site provides the ewe management guidelines, tools and tips, background research results with economic analysis, for sheep producers across southern Australia. This site is being added to throughout 2006-2008 so please visit us regularly to view new information and tools.
lifetimewool is funded and supported by Australian wool producers through Australian Wool Innovation Limited, state government agencies and farm businesses
