Abstract
The Merino industry has raised a number of concerns about the current practice of selecting animals at a very young age and its association with lifetime production. Further, with the diversification of the Merino to include a combination of wool, carcase, disease resistance and reproduction attributes, there is a need to create a dataset that will allow the quantification of genetic parameters for lifetime production, and to understand the biological and economic trade-offs between these production elements.
