Sheep on the Farm by Australian Wool Expert
Afr Henshaw Jackson of the S A School of Mines and Industries discusses the need for strategic sheep and wheat farming. He argues that successful sheep on farms depend on system planning, pasture management, and market timing rather than simply buying any flock. He compares Australian pastoral practices with European models and stresses the role of land value, climate, and breed selection in profitability.
