The shelter & lamb survival experiment is in its final year! 🐑🌱 If you are lambing into shrubs or crops this winter, please get in touch on 0409 833 036 or georgia.welsh@murdoch.edu.au. Low input trial. Business as usual for you. We do the work. EOI: forms.office.com/r/kY1AnHtXHH

@Tedthekelpie @MerinoLink Haha yes pretty much Sam! Edible shelter is the name we gave the project back in 2022 - we’re comparing lamb survival in paddocks with "edible shelter" (crops and shrubs) vs. pasture lambing paddocks. We’re also looking at different shrub designs (species, orientation, etc.).

@GeorgiaWelsh10 @MerinoLink Is edible shelter a fancy way to say perennial shrubs and grasses?

Don’t forget to get your tickets for the 2026 @MerinoLink Conference. I’ll be there talking about edible shelter & lamb survival. 📅 26–27 Feb 2026, Armidale NSW 👉 merinolink.com.au/conference26

@DPIRDbroadacre's 2025 Yardstick Sheep Field Day is just around the corner! 🐑 I’ll be in Katanning next Thursday talking about the Edible Shelter Project. Get your free tickets here: events.humanitix.com/sheep-field-da… @meatlivestock @shade_shelterAU @WAAgCollab @MUniResearch @IOA_UWA

The @shade_shelterAU project featured on @abclandline yesterday! Skip to 43:35 to hear insights from @Serina_Hancock, @HayleyCNorman, @KelseyRhianPool, Shane Maloney and myself. 🐑☀️🌱 iview.abc.net.au/video/RF2404Q0… @meatlivestock @CSIRO @IOA_UWA @MUniResearch

Thank you for the article @BLittlewood9! It was at fantastic day at @WALRC1’s Livestock Matters last week. @shade_shelterAU @meatlivestock @CSIRO @MurdochUni @IOA_UWA @bron_clarke @WAAgCollab

@BLittlewood9 @WALRC1 Thanks so much for the write-up @BLittlewood9 and to the @WALRC1 team for the opportunity to share my research! Always a great day at Livestock Matters @bron_clarke 🙌

The legendary @GeorgiaWelsh10 shared the interesting work she - and a group of researchers - have been doing to improve lamb survival onfarm at @WALRC1's Livestock Matters forum last week. 👇 farmweekly.com.au/story/9027661/

Lambs loving the shrubs! 🐑💚 @shade_shelterAU @WAAgCollab @CSIRO @MurdochUni @IOA_UWA

No matter where you’re coming from (studying ag, working in research, or running a farm), a WALRC field day gives you something valuable to take home. It’s about real conversations, practical knowledge, and connecting with people who are driving the industry forward. 🐑🐄

Lambing has officially kicked off for the Shrub Design & Management Project at @IOA_UWA Ridgefield farm! 🌿🐑 Will this year’s data confirm the 2024 trend of ewes preferring to lamb in shrubs over open pastures? Stay tuned! @shade_shelterAU @GeorgiaWelsh10 @MurdochUni

Huge thank you to @KondininGroup and Claire Harris for the recent article about my PhD research in Farming Ahead. 🐑 Read it here: farmingahead.com.au/sheep/news-ana… via @MiningOnline

We're still looking for farms to help us collect data on twin-lamb survival in pasture vs. edible shelter (crop or shrub) lambing paddocks. 🐑🌱 Get in touch on 0409 833 036 or georgia.welsh@murdoch.edu.au. @shade_shelterAU @MUniResearch @meatlivestock @WAAgCollab

Some of my favourite photos from lambing observations this year! 🐑🌱 @shade_shelterAU #EdibleShelterProject

We've officially wrapped up lambing for the second year of the Edible Shelter Project! Huge thanks to all of the producers involved in the project so far. This important research wouldn't be possible without your help. 🐑🌱

If you’re at MLA Updates in Perth today, come check out the Shade & Shelter Program’s stall in the R&D in action hub! 🐑 @shade_shelterAU @meatlivestock @WAAgCollab @MUniResearch @UWAresearch @Serina_Hancock @KelseyRhianPool

Lambing is in full swing for the Shrub Design and Management trial! Do ewes use shrubs during lambing and how? Do they favour a design? Does it impact lamb survival? One thing for sure they like playing hide and seek😅 @shade_shelterAU @IOA_UWA @MUniResearch

@4FlocksSake @LeaLabeur @shade_shelterAU @MurdochUni @Serina_Hancock Tagasaste! 😊

@LeaLabeur @shade_shelterAU @GeorgiaWelsh10 @MurdochUni @Serina_Hancock What plant is that a Salt bush ?

Just 2 🐑 scientists sampling and ensuring there is enough feed in the paddocks for the pregnant twin-bearing ewes for the Edible shelter 🌿project as part of @shade_shelterAU. Good to see a bit more green on the ground 🌱 @GeorgiaWelsh10 @MurdochUni @Serina_Hancock
