LATEST - PRESS RELEASE Sheep Producer Margins Boosted by Performance Recording
The use of performance recorded tups plays a key role in improved returns according to the results of the second year of the Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) Scottish Sheep Strategy Better Breeding project. The conclusion of two years of results for Suffolk-sired lambs under difficult and variable weather conditions, shows that in almost every case the progeny of performance recorded rams with high indexes was better than those selected purely by eye – leading to greater financial returns for the farm concerned. For the FULL REPORT click on the image in the left margin. |

Sheep Producers Urged to Target the Weakest Link Performance recording must be taken up by the Scottish sheep producers to ensure the industry can build its “flock of the future”, according to Stuart Annand, Scottish Sheep Strategy Development Officer (North) with Quality Meat Scotland. “Performance recording is not a new idea but it will be vital in the creation of a flock which produces prime lambs efficiently and profitably from forage and from a quantified genetic base,” Mr Annand said. |
