A week on from @LambExAU and we’re still jubilant with the awards we came away with from the AMPC lamb carcase comp! 2 lamb group entries, 2 awards and 2nd/3rd overall.
The modern merino proving itself once again. Excited to see where we can take things from here

Imagine being Minister for Agriculture & being proud of attacking the very industry you’re supposed to be assisting.

This is the ALP improving animal welfare. Killing off markets for sheep meaning they’re shot on farm instead of used as food.

Aussie lamb prices compared to the rest of the world....yes we are selling a lot of lamb, but whats the point when you are undercutting the rest of the world (besides NZ) to do so?
There is something seriously wrong in our prime lamb industry.

Merino breeders are hoping full eating quality and carcase assessment industry-wide will improve the standing of their lamb carcases among processors who discount them in saleyards and over the hooks

All settled, eating and resting within 30 minutes of loading. Look at that space. Under allometric stocking densities all sheep can sit down at once. #keepthesheep

A rare misstep by @MurrayWatt - anyone who cares to look can see the Australian live sheep trade is the best in the world. The industry has moved so far beyond the terrible incident 6 years ago & has committed to continual improvement. It deserves a reward - not a punishment.
ALEC statement on Government policy to end the live sheep trade in Australia:

auctionsplus.com.au/auctions… Glendemar annual surplus young ewes up for sale tomorrow on Auctions Plus. 2 X 200 ewes, non mulesed, plain body, highly fertile. Breed for high growth, muscle and fat, shearing every 6 months, full vaccination history including campylobacter as lambs.
Some mixed aged ewes in for shearing, pumping out 90+ mm at 6 months. Hard to believe what’s possible with genetics. Should suit @NZMerinoCo well. #mpm #modernmerino #zqrx
