Summary

​The aim of this demonstration site is to benchmark reproductive performance in the northern pastoral zone of South Australia and demonstrate that keeping individual records on breeders and managing accordingly can increase reproductive efficiency and therefore productivity.

Following a GO/No GO discussion, MLA and the project facilitator agreed that the project was unable to continue due to seasonal conditions. The contract was terminated. 

If seasonal conditions may allow the project to continue in the future subject to funding availability MLA may consider re-contracting.
