Livestock
Our flock includes 160 sheep, comprising ewes, wethers and 9 specialised rams—including 3 Merinos, 2 White Suffolks, and 4 Powerbred 4×B sires—providing a genetically diverse population for research in breeding, genetics and animal health.
The inclusion of trained rams for semen collection further enhances the unit’s suitability for genetic and reproductive studies.
Research opportunities
Use our well-equipped shearing shed, combi clamp and drafting race to conduct studies on wool quality, parasite resistance and productivity.
Our irrigated paddocks and extensive pasture management allow for grazing studies, forage testing and sustainable farming practices.
Animal welfare and management
Our team is trained in low-stress stock handling (LSS) and ensures regular animal welfare checks, making it easier for you to focus on your research while maintaining high ethical standards.
You can also study parasite management with drench-resistant barbers pole worm, all while benefiting from our on-site support staff and vehicle access for research logistics.
