Throw head in bin can we have pics of rears?

 

[Johngee]

Sorry, I'll have to try again - they're pretty lively and that was the only pic where they stood still!

 

[Johngee]

I suppose they would look better if they'd been stuffed with feed!

What sort of mature weight are they and out of what weight ewes please?

What sort of mature weight are they and out of what weight ewes please?

I haven't weighed them recently, but guess they'd be about 70kg, with their mothers being about 65-70kg

Are you going to weigh them and can you confirm their mother's weights? Any figures for their sire and where was he from? PM me if you want. Cheers.

As a matter of interest, what sort of muscle and fat depths do you get when scanning?

Next time they're in I shall weigh them. Two of them are by an exlana ram (so he's got two sets of figures, one from the exlana analysis and one for easycare!) while the others are by a Glenapp ram. I'm in the process of putting their figures in an excel file which I could pm to you.

Funnily enough we were back scanning the lambs yesterday so I've got the data in front of me. Obviously there's a huge variation across the flock and it needs blup to sort it all out really. Best muscle depth we had was 24.2mm with 3.4 fat on a 30 kg lamb, next was 24mm muscle with 4.0 fat on a 38.5 kg lamb, then 23.2mm with 1.33 fat on a 28.5kg lamb. Most of the ram lambs would be between 18 and 22 muscle. I would only keep about 10% of ram lambs on for breeding.

I'd also like the figures please. Thanks

Why are the EBVs blank on the basco site?

I'm not sure, none of the other breeders seem to have EBV's on their sheep either. I'll have to ask someone.

We’ve got two yearling still available from our Signet recorded flock. One is a quarter exlana and was used on some ewes last autumn and has lambs on the ground (which we are very pleased with) while the other is full Easycare and carries one copy of the myomax gene. They’re 100% forage reared, not seen any hard feed. PM me if you’re interested
