SheepMetriX Services

The SheepMetriX voucher can be spent on any of our services. Some ideas include:-

Thinking about implementing eID on your farm – this is an opportunity to kick start your program - we will go through what data you would like to collect, work through options to collect it and then the best way to make use of the data you collect.
Revise your current breeding program - commercial or ram breeding, including ram/sire team; setting clear and achievable genetic targets and measurement metrics.
Are you considering going to a non-mulesed flock - if yes, this is a great opportunity to benchmark where your flock currently sits and work through some breeding and management strategies to make a plan to transition.
