A joint initiative of Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) and Australian Wool Innovation (AWI), this forum is part of the flagship Making More from Sheep program.

It is designed to increase producer awareness of the principles, practices and tools of sheep enterprise profitability and productivity. It will deliver information to help producers grow 10% more wool, achieve 10% more carcase value and produce 10% more lambs per hectare.

The forum will have a clear practice-change focus and will point interested producers to many of the extension and adoption tools available through MLA and AWI.

Topics and speakers:

  • Introduction, and meat and wool outlook - Cameron Allan, Meat & Livestock Australia
  • Making ewes work for you - Andrew Thompson, Murdoch University
  • Sheep feed options in mixed farming systems - Hamish Dickson, AgriPartner Consulting
