Summary

The purpose of this Project is to update the design of the Sheep Genetics breeders guide.
The Breeders Guide is used to help new and current breeders submit data to Sheep Genetics. It also includes information about how to set up breeding guides. The old breeders guide was created in 2004 and has not been updated since. There is new information that needs to be added and the old content is outdated. The diagrams are dated and the layout is not easy for the reader to follow. It also does not follow the MLA brand and writing style guidelines.

Objectives

Update the design to follow the MLA brand and writing style guidelines and add new diagrams to help explain what Sheep Genetics does.

Key findings

Benefits to industry
