With the ongoing challenges that farmers are facing in 2019, Sheep Week gives a great forum to reach out communicate within the industry.

Shearwell Australia are leaders in livestock identification and management providing a range of products from NLIS electronic and visual tags, panel and wand readers and management crates and are proud to partner with the third annual Sheep Week.

Shearwell Australia support Sheep Week because of the wide participation of producers across three states - including some of the nation's most fertile sheep country.

Sheep Week allows producers to throw open the farm gates and share their ideas and innovations with each other.

Shearwell Australia believes working directly with the farmer is paramount to their operations, getting an understanding of what the farmers want because they are communicating directly with the farmer.

Shearwell Australia aim to promote cooperation and allow the entire sector to learn, grow and take full advantage of both the latest research and development in not only traceability and data but the day to day needs of our agricultural sector.

Through events like Sheep Week they are able to get an understanding of some of the challenges that producers are facing, then build products and innovations around this feedback.

Shearwell Australia was a founding partner for the inaugural Sheep Week in 2017, before becoming the naming sponsor for both this and last year's events, they do this because this is an opportunity to listen to their customers on their own properties on their own terms.

"Sheep Week offers participants an engagement opportunity with other producers along with associated livestock and commercial visitors and it provides us with a valuable reach to our current and prospective customers" a Shearwell spokesperson said.

Sheep Week provides the breeders with the opportunity to showcase to other breeders and visitors who we know will travel from across the state and interstate to see first-hand what our leading producers have to offer.

Shearwell Australia is proud to be working with the industry but most importantly working to keep Australian produce clean and the most sought after in world. Shearwell Australia looks forward to look forward to seeing you at the Australian Sheep & Wool Show in Bendigo from 19 to 21 July.
