Transition to Non-Mules Seminar - Young NSW- 29th June 2022

The seminar covered the following topics

  • Breeding and management options;

  • Assessing where your flock currently is;

  • Find out what chemicals are still working; 

  • Pain relief options, benefits and how to access;

  • Market trends, feedback and opportunities for both wool and meat; and

  • Provide a pathway to assist transition and maintain your own flock as non mules.

Attendees also heard from a range of breeders who have recently ceased mulesing through to breeders who stopped 10+ years ago - they shared their first hand experiences, what their approach has been and what they have learnt along the way.

The program also included the preliminary results from the MLA Producer Demonstration Project - the South West Slopes group demonstration sites:

  • Sire Evaluation (Low and High Breech Wrinkle sire groups);

  • Tail docking methods and

  • Breech Wrinkle Scoring methods.
