Pre-joining preparation this year included giving the stud ewe flock a thorough review and culling out any animals with poor confirmation, poor figures or poor wool. Terry Connell provided some valuable outside scrutiny in this task. A pre-joining adult weight will be obtained for those ewes kept in the stud flock.
