We offer a comprehensive range of lamb marking husbandry services statewide and adopt best practices guidelines as outlined by Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) and Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) (click here for PDF link). Mulesing is conducted in accordance with industry guidelines using accredited operators (for more details see Australian Animal Welfare Standards and Guidelines), and we ensure all of our equipment is clean and disinfected to minimise the risk of infection and disease spread.
