How do I select a Suffolk ram using the S.I.L TSO Index's, BV's?
- Buyers selecting terminal sires use an index designed to increased the lean weight of the carcass, whilst minimizing any associated rise in carcass fat.
- The TSO index gives buyers a useful overview of the ram’s superiority as a terminal sire. Choices can be further refined using Breeding Values for specific traits.
How can I identify a really good Val d'Or Suffolk ram?
- Ask to see the S.I.L records.
Discuss your ram requirements with the Andy, in terms of the breeding index and BVs.
- A sires breeding / genetic potential for individual traits are expressed as Breeding Values (BV).
- Rams can be selected on the basis of their superiority in these areas.- The progeny from high index rams have faster growth rates, higher yields of lean meat and are more efficient.
In a commercial flock these features have a real financial value.High index rams improve flock profitability
High Index Rams = Increased lamb performance
Is personal inspection necessary to select the Suffolk rams I would like to buy?
- While most buyers prefer to inspect and select their own Rams, they can be selected for you and sent unsighted based on your selection criteria.
We can provide a list of S.I.L BV's from which you can make your selection.
