AND the carcase classification is better too!
To have a more profitable sheep stock a commercial hill farmer needs ewes that are better mothers AND have heavier lambs
We can do all of this AND have a better carcase classification!
Take a look at the results from one member farm over 10 years. These figures are achieved by using the tups bred in a 400-ewe nucleus flock, over the commercial HILL flock of 1600 ewes.
EVERY carcass is almost 3kg heavier after ten years
Average classification has moved from almost 50% in the O class 10 years ago to:-
88% in EUR Class in year ten!
