Learn how good data drives genetic gain in sheep

Sheep-field-dayIn the past few weeks Sheep Genetics hosted several webinars for members about the 2022 Analysis Enhancements with more regional forums planned.

They have a recorded session available and have also cut it into short videos on each section – you can access the whole recording and short videos here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6xGkO-I5bMwjkbbdBJeOfybDaPSmgpSA.

Sheep Genetics will be holding one more live webinar covering the same topics in the videos above on Friday 20th May at 1pm (NSW time). If you’d prefer to see the webinar live, or have the opportunity to ask questions throughout, please register to attend here https://mla.microsoftcrmportals.com/event/registration?id=Sheep_Genetics_Analysis_Enhancement_2022_-_20_May_20221374581337.

They will be covering the Analysis Enhancements in more detail at our Regional Forums this year along with other sessions outlined in the agenda below. They hope that all Sheep Genetics members will all be able to attend a forum as it will be a great opportunity to get more info on the changes, the new data quality score and how to access results, and of course it will be a chance to catch up face to face. The date and location of the 2022 Regional Forums are:

  • Armidale 12th May
  • Hamilton 24th May
  • Adelaide 2nd June
  • Bendigo 9th June
  • Wagga 23rd June
