There are 1300+ MLP ewes from the 2017 and 2018 drops at the New England site. These ewes are the result of AI programs using 15 sire joinings in each year drop.

The MLP ewes are being assessed across their lifetime for wool, carcase and reproduction. Both measured and classed results are collected and reported in sire groups.

The 2017 drop ewes presented have had their third wool assessment and are in the middle of their second reproduction cycle.

The 2018 drop have had their second wool assessment and are in their maiden reproduction cycle.
