[QUOTE="Sandpit Farm, post: 3656660, member: 1646"] There is compelling evidence everywhere that performance recording will increase the performance of you select for it. If you are selling unrecorded rams for strong money already, it is natural that you'd want to slate the system... especially if you feel your rams wouldn't perform as well when ranked. Basically the issues raised about progeny testing and biases against small flocks have been answered. Even the cost point can be put to bed... yet people STILL come up with reasons why performance recording is a load of crap. I know it's frank.... but it's my opinion. There's nothing wrong with selling tups for strong money and why would you risk your reputation by recording and potentially being ranked low... however it is clear that, for the good of the industry, we need to embrace science and stop breeding poodles.
