About

Each year, Sheep Genetics run a series of regional workshops across Australia so breeders can:

  • keep updated on enhancements to the analysis
  • learn how to get the most out of their breeding program
  • speak directly to Sheep Genetics staff.

The workshops are not specifically LAMBPLAN or MERINOSELECT workshops but aimed at a mixed audience, of all breeds, and for both long term and new clients.

Sessions covered generally include:

  • principles of genetic selection
  • the evolving world of genetics
  • arming your genetics toolkit
  • developing an action plan.

These workshops are paced so that new Sheep Genetics members are not left behind, whilst also providing new information and techniques for existing clients.
