Farm monitoring has played a key role in the dramatic increase in our farm production since 1995/96. Through farm monitoring we are now much more aware of the current performance levels of our flock. The basis for decision making has been greatly improved by having more factual information on livestock performance. Androvax and crossbreeding have been identified as the means to rapidly improve our lamb production.
