OK, getting back to the sheep in question....
Given your own regular comments about sheep with negative fat ebvs, where do you stand on the extreme negative fat ebv on the new messiah of the Texel breed? Kill or keep?
I may not have not bought him because I couldn’t afford him

Don’t agree about the sheep ireland the best performance recording system in the world, very far from it being great and easily manipulated on farm with lambs in the rushes for 2 weeks and the meal shed door always open and very poor % with in flocks.

Have them bloody rushes in the central region where the ewe disappears for 2 weeks and then comes out with her fresh born lamb with super growth rateRamCompare evaluates the progeny of rams, out of crossbred ewes, run on commercial farms & systems. What better evaluation can their be? It’s a big step in front of evaluating a bunch of rams on their own performance in a test station tbh.
That use in commercial flocks does mean that those rams will usually lose their health status, so their wouldn’t be many ‘pedigree’ flocks that could buy those rams back.
Many years ago, Holme Lacey college in Herefordshire used to run a trial like the French set up, for Charollais rams within the Central Region. It was all very interesting, until it was ‘won’ by a certain well respected lecturer from Harper Adams that had a Charollais flock. It turns out that he’d falsified the birth date by several weeks, which only came to light when his wife sent in the registrations to the Society with the correct birth dates on.It all stopped soon afterwards.
Dishonest strokers always get found out, it’s just good it happened before the progeny of that ram showed up the deceit via their performance. Thankfully extra connect ness within the analysis makes it less easy to influence things by such fraudulent activity now, and another reason why performance of close relatives are used in the BLUP analysis.
