[QUOTE="neilo, post: 4679310, member: 348"] There have been discussions for a while on rebasing sheep ebvs, and very little consensus on when to do it. There are flocks that record, but don't actually use it as a selection tool, who will have an average below breed average. If you rebase to zero, almost all of their sheep will have a negative index, which I can't see going down well. Last I heard, it was suggested that a sensible time to rebase was at the same time as the across breed analysis gets rolled out, which has been imminent for a couple of years now. Next year now maybe, when RamCompare data gets brought into the same analysis? [/QUOTE]
