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.
