Catalogue Now Attached
The 2024 Exlana ‘’Data Driven’’ ram sale will be held on Tuesday 6th August and we expect to have 70 rams with exceptional maternal qualities , many from the top 25% of the latest genetic evaluation. These genetics are the result of many years of ongoing recording and rigorous selection. All animals are of course presented in their ‘’working clothes’’ straight from the field –we don’t disguise or ‘’pretty up’’ sheep with artificial colouring or trimming---SIG has a hard-earned reputation for producing ‘’sheep that go away and do what it says on the tin’’.
All Exlana sheep are fully recorded with Signet Breeding Services, and the catalogue provides full details – further information or help with the figures can be found from the Signet website or by speaking to one of the Exlana team.
Dead lambs don’t grow! --We have also collected enough data to now publish and use a lamb survival EBV in our selection index ..no other maternal UK analysis does this
‘’Exlana Index’’ With this in mind we have developed our new index designed to put more selection pressure on lamb survival and parasite resistance
All sale rams have tested negative for Border Disease and are either from flocks that are in MV accreditation / MV monitoring schemes or they have recently passed at least one individual MV blood test. SIG stud flocks are also disease screened for CLA & OJD
This year’s sale will again be a traditional ringside sale with the option of online bidding via Bateman Hosegood, this means that you can select & bid on rams from the comfort of your home or tractor seat ----we will arrange delivery in the weeks after the sale
The event will be signposted from and is very close to Junction 27 M5 ----Ayshford Sheep Barn, Westleigh, Tiverton, Devon EX16 7HL
