Looking for commercial sheep producers using ASBVs and the SG website around Wagga (13/6) and Hamilton (18/6) who would be interested in taking part in a focus group around improving functionality of the website. Comment if interested. #AgChatOz #merinoselect #lambplan

Using genomics at home in your sheep stud or planning to in the near future? The closer your flock is related to the reference population the more accurate your ASBVs will be. Nominate one of your rams to be a sire in the 2019 joining now. https://t.co/L6mDKNBrgO

A great update by @Dan_dbrown2 from @AGBU_GENE on the past, present, and future application of genomics in Australian sheep and goat breeding schemes. #eaap2018

[Luke Stephen @lstevo9984]

@sheepGeekCP @bcsagribusiness across the entire MERINOSELECT population relationship between rates of gain and average index is near zero which highlights great opportunities for progress by industry. @carisejones @ClaraCollison @Dan_dbrown2 and myself did a paper on this earlier this year
