My thoughts on myomax continue to evolve... I think that it has an effect, but it is fairly marginal in any given animal, only making a significant difference across a flock. I have a very good double myomax ram, but I've another that has a good meaty conformation and, as far as I know, he has no claims on carrying myomax.I'm very happy with him. Fingers crossed there are no lambing difficulties. Single copy myomax as well.

Their lambs, from evenly mixed ewes, are more or less the same so, when I cull on factors away from known genetics - shedding, tail length etc. - it's a hard call as to what to keep as replacements. But, with the ram lambs sold as stores, there is a notable difference favouring the myomax ram.
Terminal Easycare rams anyone...?

To add to the above re-myomax
It's the hard & tedious work of recording and selecting year on year that makes the progress not the breeding for 1 gene

Good to see repeat customer @unlacedgecko this morning and new customer @Bill dog this afternoon when I delivered his tup. On the downside, it was rather dangerous going in with Bill dog's Hereford x stirks. I tripped over one
Anyone looking for a performance recorded, grass-fed woolshedding tup this year please get in touch as they are selling fast, or if you are mulling over taking the leap from wool sometime in the future.
Was going to post a picture of the ram you picked up for us but the bugger jumped the fence and hid in the polytunnel! Cant say he isn't a fit and strong ram.

Yes, he's a bit of a handful as I said! Other than that, exactly what I'm trying to breed. A bit of hard feed will change his opinion (once he learns what it is!).Was going to post a picture of the ram you picked up for us but the bugger jumped the fence and hid in the polytunnel!
