Wether trials should be looked upon as a commercial trial between clients of studs. The aim is to prove the commercial worth of a bloodline, not the breeding system within a stud. They are designed to assist commercial breeders to compare their productivity against that of other flocks. Wether trials remove most of the effects of management and environment, leaving a better comparison of the genetic merit of the sheep. Trial results and additional information can be obtained from www.merinobloodlines.com.au Technical services and support for sheep and wool producers are available from State Departments of Primary Industries -
