This case study looks at St George producer Rod Avery and how he uses sheep-classing technology to improve productivity and business outcomes. Rod talks about using and embracing technology and how he made gradual changes to get where he is today. Through the use of technology, Rod knows the level of production and the return that each animal contributes to the business and is able to make more informed decisions when it comes to culling and breeding. Rod is a long-time owner classer and has a good idea of the traits he wants in the fleeces his flock produce. He encourages producers who want to do the same to take advantage of the courses on offer.
