WAFarmers would like to congratulate the Cooperative Research Centre for Sheep Industry Innovation (Sheep CRC) for winning two major research awards and being shortlisted for a third at the 2014 CRC Association Awards this week.
WAFarmers Meat Section President Jeff Murray attended the awards ceremony in Perth and said it was excellent to see the Sheep CRC recognised for the brilliant work it continues to do to increase the productivity and profitability of the meat and wool industries.
The Sheep CRC received the CRC Program’s Star Award for high-level engagement with small and medium size businesses through its highly successful programs ‘Managing Scanned Ewes’, and the award for Excellence in Innovation for the
‘RamSelect’ initiative, both of which have resulted in dramatic uptake of new research and major improvements to industry productivity.
