Sheep farmers could soon be able to estimate their flock's live weight and fleece weight in real time, without the need for labor-intensive handling. The new system, being developed by CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, will capture measurements in real time as animals move naturally through their environment. FlockMate is a two-year research project.
