COMPARING LAMB PRODUCTION SELECTION METHODS

Remember that birth type and wean type are single year events whereas N.L.W and ADWR are generationally linked sheep like apple trees bear on second-year wood. 1. Note that ADWR’s slight decrease from single born to single wean can be explained by the increased number of twin-born in the column which will be lighter. 2. Note NLW’s record of no difference between twin-born and twin wean is a figure failure within a strategic area of selection within properly. Continue reading

HISTORY

Arguably Australia’s most reflective Uardry daughter stud, founded in 2005 with 820 embryo transfers from 20 Uardry flushing ewes in 5 years, selecting for soft-volumed, balanced maternal off grass with damp climate wools and high wean ratio’s.

Uardry additions 2006-09,… Continue reading

A.D.W.R DEFINITION

Daily Wean Ratio is the weight of ewe divided by the weight of lamb at weaning and adjusted to 100 days. At Stirling this is also accrued from season to season as a multi-year figure and from generation to generation… Continue reading
