I didn’t realise that I had sheep blowfly resistance to Clik until I did this testing with @nswdpi Narelle Sales through @woolinnovation fly chemical resistance modelling project.
More samples needed from Qld and Tas for this project ➡️ get in touch if you would like sample kits
I encourage wool growers to complete this survey.
It will be the shortest and most simple survey you have done for quite some time.
Your input will help MerinoLink develop another super conference with topics relevant to industry.
