Accountable = fully recorded
All our sheep are fully recorded with Signet. The lambs are weighed at 8 and 21 weeks and all lambs are scanned for beck fat and eye muscle depth Trials prove that a high index ram with high performance figures can contribute up to £3 per lamb in extra output.Selecting for higher growth rate and muscle depth reduces grazing costs and improves carcases thus giving the better return.
Ultrasound Scanning gives increased info on animals carcase characteristics
CT Scanning through measuring the meat fat and bone content of the whole of the live animal allows for selection of animals with the highest meat yield and carcase qualities. Sires can be chosen with more meat and less fat in the right places.
