25.01.2022 Twin maidens 3.4 BCS at shearing in the lead up to lambing. Post scan we aim for our twins to gain some additional condition to optimise lamb survival. Key is above 3 BCS but not above 4 BCS at lambing. Ideally at 3.5 BCS. We are using corn+buffer this year to supply MJ deficiency in the native grasses. #lambsurvival #pooginook #mla #sheepgenetics #agchatoz #sheepcentral #riverina #asbv #fertility #dualpurposemerino #corn #nutrimax

25.01.2022 Carcass, growth and plain breeches are the main focus at joining this year. With the help of a geneticist and 5 years of DNA genomic data, we auto-drafted the breeders into groups that were statistically superior for these traits. Visual traits are annually assessed prior to shearing.

23.01.2022 Ram shearing coming up next week! Anyone is welcome to visit us and see how the data is collected. We are fleece weighing and breech wrinkle scoring. Measurement of the breech wrinkle at lamb marking and 12 months of age is critical to enable us to have no modification to the breech. Our poll stud lambs in 2020 had no breech modification. Both poll and horn stud will have no modification to breech in 2021 drop lambs. #mla #pooginook #sheepgenetics #agchatoz #thankyourfarmerforyournextmeal #asbv #riverina #sheepcentral

23.01.2022 Just add water and grass will grow! Rams headed for some greener pastures after shearing and being on native grass country. #pooginook #mla #fastearlygrowth #rams #merinowool #sheepgenetics #dualpurposemerino #agchatoz #awi #sheepcentral #riverina

20.01.2022 Largest sex semen AI program in the Merino industry. Exciting day at Pooginook! Big thanks to Paul Douglas and his team from Total Livestock Genetics.

20.01.2022 Ewe lambs due to lamb soon. Very dry here with low quality feed for lambing but these girls are doing well. #pooginook #ewelambs #merinofertility #asbv #agchatoz #thankyourfarmerforyournextmeal #sheepgenetics #sheepcentral #fastearlygrowth #mla #merinowool

14.01.2022 Sex semen technology enabling us to increase the impact of stud sires for our clients use

14.01.2022 Video from last week - Ram weaners (10.5 months of age) getting their micron, staple length and yield tested on the pin bone. Riverina Wool testers in Wagga do the testing for us. Raw data is then sent off to Sheep Genetics to generate breeding values for these traits. Also boosting rams for pulpy kidney and drenching ready for high challenge pastures on irrigation. #wool #asbv #riverinawooltesters #dualpurposemerino #riverina #agchatoz #thankyourfarmerforyournextmeal #sheepgenetics #pooginook #nonmulsedwool #growlivestockagronomy #accuratedata

13.01.2022 Moby barley self sown, rye grass and sub clover. A great mix of feed for the young rams to transition onto after being out on the native dryland. Stocked at 70 sheep /ha. Ram shearing starting Monday 10th of May for anyone interested to have a look. Post shearing we have prepared higher performance pastures for the rams to go onto. In our climate we use irrigation to grow high quality feed in the autumn. Our dryland has basically cut out since the 40mm of rain earlier in th...e year. #pooginook #dualpurposemerino #merinowool #agchatoz #mla #sheepcentral #asbv #sheepgenetics #merinoselect

07.01.2022 Merry Christmas everyone! Thanks to all our clients for your support. And massive thanks to our PGK staff for all the hard work. Your effort and commitment is greatly appreciated.

02.01.2022 Pasture utilisation and feed conversion are key to ensuring we get good returns from our improved pastures and animals meet their weight targets. #pooginook #mla #dualpurposemerino #agchatoz #sheepgenetics #asbv #sheepcentral

01.01.2022 Classing up the 2020 drop rams before their 6 monthly shearing next week. This is an example of the modern dual purpose rams we are breeding. Balancing all the traits with good body structure is the key to success. 50k DNA genomics giving us great data accuracy. #pooginook #dualpurposemerino #agchatoz #sheepgenetics #asbv #thankyourfarmerforyournextmeal #sheepcentral #balancedrams #wool #fertility #fastearlygrowth #carcass #eweefficiency #dnagenomics
