Getting started: Key steps
Step one - Understanding Sheep Genetics and communications
Undertake the Sheep Genetics e-learning module to understand the processes and requirements for submitting data for analysis.
Subscribe to our email newsletter mailing list
Step two - Registering an account and creating a company
Register an account on the Sheep Genetics search site - If you already have a myMLA login, use the same email address.
Work through the steps to create a company - Help guides can be found here.
Once your company is created Sheep Genetics staff will complete the registration process and you will recieve a confirmation email when completed.
Step three - Setting up your flocks
- Flocks are now created in the Sheep Genetics site - please follow the instructions in the confirmation email in Step 2.
- If you are an unregistered flock (not a member of a breed society) and wanting to participate in LAMBPLAN or MERINOSELECT you will need to request a flock code prior to completing the subscription form, please contact us.
- Sheep Genetics fees and charges can be found on the following links. Each flock will pay annual flock fees as well as billable animals fees when animals are submitted for analysis.
Step four
You are now ready to submit data to Sheep Genetics. For more information, visit the Data submission process page.
