@TrentAn94382106 @StevenStutley @tofar1 @Litoriaraniform Couldn't agree more! There's well rounded genetics out there that are in the top 5% for both YWEC and LDAG.

@StevenStutley @tofar1 @Litoriaraniform I’m going down the genetic path. Only buying rams now with figures for ldag and wec @Burnbrae_Poll

So what do you think the outcome was after the 1st run yesterday when the contractor spotted a few sheep left like this? Which i never saw.

Burnbrae Poll 230022 We've had incredible interest in BP 230022 this year. He's predicted to have over 1000 progeny in 2025 across most states. What has stood out is his ability to drive welfare at the same time as key production traits.

Merino ewe lambs at 6 to 8mths of age coming in for joining allocation and Campyvax. Unreal shapes, growth rates and sexual maturity in the modern Merino. @neXtgenAgri @Fergenetics @DarrenGordon22 @HenryHickson99

We’re on the hunt for our next team member. - Check out the details on The Hub or get in touch with me to find out the details

Testing of the 2024 ram lambs is well underway @ 5mths of age. Individual WECs are one of our most important measurements and invaluable to our direction. Plenty of shape and great structure in this year's drop. @Fergenetics @neXtgenAgri @DarrenGordon22 @HenryHickson99 @xytovet

A new article released on The Hub today - exploring natural selection and G x E interactions. Is G x E a thing or is it just that we don't know how to measure all of the trait interactions? thehub.nextgenagri.com/c/shepherd-sha…

Back in the yards recording data on the 24 drop to better inform our 2025 joining program. BP 220818 has had a massive impact already going the 12mths without requiring a crutch. His progeny averaged 1.36 when scored compared to the flock average of 2.

@TrentAn94382106 Thanks again mate for your support over the years. That's a fantastic ram team average. Congratulations.
