[QUOTE="M-J-G, post: 3657380, member: 1819"] The main issue I have with the ram compare is that it is high index rams, I believe for the study to work it needs to have sires of low medium and high indices and compare from there. As it stands there is more of a comparison between high index rams of different breeds than there is a validation of the rams index. As to how much is known about the ewes, who cares? A commercial farmer doesn't know about his ewes potential index, he will just look at how the lamb's do off the batch that got turned put with that ram. The study doesn't need to be more complex than that really. They do need to do thousands of rams for 10 years before I would give it much credit though. [/QUOTE]
