WHAT DO WE GAIN?
1. SPEED AND ACCURACY CONVERSION FROM ACTUAL TO PERCENTILE
2. SPEED AND ACCURACY TO READ PERCENTILE COLOUR-CODED TABLE
3. LANGUAGES ARE CONVERTED TO ONE WITH EMBEDDED ACCURACY
WHAT DO WE LOSE?
1. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
2. ACTUALS
THINGS WE CAN DO
BIRTH RECORD, WOOL, MUSCLE, EFFICIENCY, SHOWS, DATA DAY OF BIRTH RECORDS
CHANGE 250 DAY WOOL MEASUREMENT
1. WOOL WEIGHT SIMPLIFIED = FRAME X SKIN
2. EARLIER WOOL WEIGHT MEASUREMENT FAVOURS FRAME – IT EXPRESSES EARLIER
ANSWER
1. CONTINUE QUALITY MEASUREMENT AT 250 DAYS
2. LENGTHEN QUALITY MEASUREMENT TO 2 YEAR EWE ONLY AND LINK BACK TO RAMS. USE PARENTAL LINKAGE FOR SALE DAY.
MUSCLE
1. TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO LOIN DEPTH
2. MORE ATTENTION TO
BUTT WIDTH
BUTT DEPTH
LOIN LENGTH
EFFICIENCY IS AN ANOMALY
1. THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
2. ANGUS MATURE COWS WEIGHTS HAVE INCREASED FROM 500 TO 800kgs SINCE 1961
3. IS THIS THE MAIN DRIVER OF WEIGHT GAIN
4. THE SHEEP PROBLEM IS DUAL – HANDLING SIZE AND EFFICIENCY
5. CONVERSION RATES;
FISH 1.2 TO 1,
CHICKEN 2 TO 1,
PIG 3 TO 1
SHEEP 4 TO 1,
CATTLE 7 TO 1
SHOWS
1. DROP ALL ASBV’S DATA USE BACK TO 50% FOR ANIMALS WITHOUT PROGENY MEASUREMENTS – INACCURRACIES
2. SUBJECTIVELY JUDGE FOR TYPE IN THERE CLASSES
MEAT – WIDTH, MUSCLE, DEPTH, LENGTH ETC.
MATERNAL – WEDGE SHAPE AND DEPTH ETC.
WOOL – FRAME, SKIN, QUALITY ETC.
DATA
1. 2 YEARS AGO COMPUTER FOR THE FIRST TIME DEFEATED THE WORLD CHESS CHAMPION
2. WEEKS AGO COMPUTERS FOR THE FIRST TIME DEFEATED THE WORLD POKER CHAMPION
3. MORE OF
CLIMATE DATA
RATION DATA
GENETIC DATA
SHEEP TYPE DATA
SUMMARY
IN 2009 I STARTED MY OWN STIRLING ACCRUED DAILY WEAN RATIO RECORDING SYSTEM BECAUSE I HAD GRAVE DOUBTS ABOUT PASTORAL ZONE FEED AND CLIMATIC LINKAGE ABILITY TO DELIVER THE TIGHT GENETIC SPECTRUM INHERITED WITHIN THE ENCLOSED PIG AND POULTRY INDUSTRY.
