[QUOTE="gwi1890, post: 8269717, member: 11140"] I’ve found with the texel society there seems to alot of “index chasers” I went to see one of the top performance recorded flocks in the UK few years back and when looking through the tups the owner was reading tags right left and centre and shouting “index 387” “index 270” and so on when I looked at the actual individual ebv’s and measurements from scanning they weren’t anything special , most were in the top 1% on growth rates and litter size which means little considering the feed and pmsg involved.
