Ewe lamb joining made easy – Millstream open day

This interactive session will introduce the Producer Demonstration Site (PDS) project focused on improving adoption of ewe lamb joining practices. Despite low adoption rates (30% in maternal flocks and 5% in Merino flocks), research shows that joining ewe lambs at 7−10 months can deliver scanning rates up to 97% and weaning rates up to 80%, boosting enterprise profitability.

What to expect:

• Project background and aims
• Step-by-step best-practice methodology
• Common barriers and misconceptions
• Insights from recent research investments
• Husbandry tips
• Q&A with facilitators and hosts

This event is funded by Meat & Livestock Australia through the Producer Demonstration Site (PDS) program. The PDS aims to showcase best-practice ewe lamb joining techniques to improve production outcomes and increase adoption rates, particularly among Merino producers.
