BEEF & LAMB NZ GENETICS, CENTRAL PROGENY TESTS (CPT)

Transcription

1 BEEF & LAMB NZ GENETICS, CENTRAL PROGENY TESTS (CPT) For a second time, 2012 (previously 2008) OSRS was invited to send a ram to the CPT progeny trial. 289 rams have been evaluated over a twelve year period. Records of the top 20 are produced in the annual booklet. Many sires within this select group have died long ago. Both One Stop Ram Shop (OSRS) rams (3091/03 and 2097/11) were in the top 20 when growth and meat value indices were combined. They have also been placed for growth index (twice), progeny meat value (once), weaning weight (twice), dag score ebv (once) and top twenty for meat and growth (twice). Pleasing. These trials are scientifically correct. Selection of the sires is subjective and lacks the same robustness. They are an indicator of merit (or not) of the trialled sires. That OSRS terminal sires have performed in the top twelve percent of 153 tested terminals is creditable and proves selection policies at OSRS result in superior financial rewards. Results taken from CPT booklets , and
