At Towonga, we believe in a balanced approach to wool production and animal welfare.
Shearing every 8 months provides significant benefits, including:
• Increased wool yield through optimal staple growth.
• Improved ewe welfare by maintaining a manageable fleece length.
• Enhanced reproductive success, as post-shearing joining increases the percentage of ewes scanned in lamb.
• Reduced crutching requirements, less cost; ewes only need crutching if lambing
Our carefully managed shearing schedule aligns seamlessly with joining and weaning, minimizing stress on the flock while maximizing their health and productivity.
