Summary

Prime lamb producers in the higher rainfall areas of WA have expressed interest for twinning ewes. What might slow the adoption rate is limited interest from lower rainfall woolgrowers to mate their Merinos to twinning sires to produce crossbred ewes. The work of the Beacon Group and the results produced are known to most WA sheep producers.
