The Merino Lifetime Productivity Project
Background
Location
The MLP site is located at “The Vale”, which is approximately 20km from Temora on the Goldfields Way or 10km from Barmedman towards Temora on the Goldfields Way. “The Vale” is a commercial farming operation operated by Marty Moses, Moses and Son.
Other MerinoLink sire evaluation trials have been located on host properties in the South West Slopes and Central West regions of NSW including Boorowa, Jugiong and Yass, NSW.
Breeding Objective
Selection is based on the animal performing well for growth (meeting minimum body weight suitable for joining at 18 months of age) and being structurally sound with good wool quality traits, including long soft handling wool and increasing fleece weight.
