Body
This paper examines the impact of incorporating fleece-shedding meat sheep into sheep enterprises in western NSW, and the associated shift in enterprise focus from wool to meat production. Sheep breeds such as the Dorper and Damara are enabling producers in western NSW to operate a carcase -based production system using low maintenance sheep that appear well suited to low rainfall pastoral areas.
