Another easycare thread

Sorry m

A ram wont change your weaning % unless you've got issues, i.e big lambs, lack of go at birth etc. The % of lambs born comes from ewe.

sorry I mean putting a exlana ram on easycare ewes to breed replacements what would the resulting ewes be like?

Is there anybody in Northern Ireland breeding exlanas to have a look at them?

No ---
The whole ethos behind the Exlana breeding program is selection through performance recorded data ,selected under pressure. All the stud breeders are all in mainland UK (at the moment)
We will have semen ready for export for this breeding season if anyone is interested

Many of the traits we breed for you wont see by a casual viewing ----you can't tell fecundity, lamb survival or worm resistance by looking at a sheep ---which is why we spend so much time and effort collecting solid data to enable selection for these traits ---see below for a link to some of the recent work on parasite resistance we have been involved with

If you're interested you can find more details at https://www.signetdata.com/technica...KK1ptUoK2aj5ZOia35rN9iUaW_MTJJRSmbTQveUFKKH6E

This is next block on rotation for my single ewes with lambs at foot. If they needed to be kept tight there wouldn’t be a tit left amongst them!

Yum!!!!

So as someone with grass for most of the year do I rule them out?

No you just buy more of them.

You can thank me later, Tim.
