Periodically assessing indicators of the sheep industry is not only important for producers to compare their flock performance, but it also has tremendous value for planning and designing research projects and educational events. In particular, benchmarking allows for a quick “pulse” to be taken on various aspects of the sheep and lamb industry. ALP has been supporting research towards the design and development of an on-farm pregnancy and litter size detection kit. This survey is supporting that project so we encourage all ewe owners to fill it out and return it as soon as you complete your lambing season this year.
