During the 1980s and '90s, Australia's wheep and wool industries were lurching from crisis to crisis-with variable prime lamb prices and collapse of the wool reserve price scheme-and something had to give.

By the turn of the century the industry had sufficiently organised itself and its resources and was investing heavily in marketing, but a new approach to R&D was needed to resore the iconic status of sheep in Australian agriculture.

Concept to Impact records the people, the politics and the powerful new technologies that have changed the face of Australian sheep production forever.
