Site Overview

This results update was published in 2021, during the MLP Project (2015–2025). Figures reflect the status at that time.

Welcome to the online collection of Macquarie MLP results. The Macquarie MLP site was hosted by NSW DPI at the Trangie Agriculture Research Centre in western NSW and was a partnership between NSW DPI, Macquarie Sire Evaluation Association, Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) and the Australian Merino Sire Evaluation Association (AMSEA).

Browse through the results documents and presentations at your convenience. Provided are wool / carcase and reproduction results presented for the sire groups, plus background information about the MLP project.

A Results Webinar was held with SheepConnectNSW in May 2021 where Trangie was presented as it’s never been seen before; with a distinctly green hue after a bumper season! Results were presented with a special focus on Reproduction as both the 2017 and 2018 drops had a full cycle of results and recent preliminary scanning data.

Macquarie MLP Sire Groups

There were 950+ MLP ewes from the 2017 and 2018 drops at the Macquarie site. These ewes were the result of AI programs using 15 and then 16 sire joinings in the 2017 and 2018 year drops.

The MLP ewes were assessed across their lifetime for wool, carcase and reproduction. Both measured and classed results were collected and reported in sire groups. The 2017 drop ewes had had their fourth wool assessment and had finished their second reproduction cycle. The 2018 drop ewes had had their third wool assessment and had finished their first reproduction cycle.
