Summary

​The purpose of this project was to manage the slaughter of lambs and yearlings from both Katanning and Kirby as part of the Sheep CRC and Meat and Livestock Resource Flock program. This project enabled the collection and measurement of a range of meat science phenotypes. From Katanning 596 lambs and from Kirby 941 were slaughtered over 2014. The sampling and laboratory analysis is complete and the data has been uploaded into the Sheep CRC database which Sheep Genetics can access.
