Beef Genetic Notes

RamCompare is a major industry partnership which enables the UK sheep industry to drive genetic improvement forward through the inclusion of commercial data in genetic evaluations.

RamCompare is a five-year project involving partners right along the food chain. Nominated Signet-recorded rams are taken from various terminal sire breeds and used on nine commercial farms in the UK.

Three years in, the project has already tested 138 rams and over 12,000 of their progeny and is one of the largest trials of its kind.

Results from year three are now available

 

 

Within this section we have a series of pages showing information of general interest to beef breeders.

All of the topics are on the sub-menu on the left. 

These include an explanation of how EBVs are calculated, contemporary groups, ultrasound scanning, 200 Day Milk EBV and many more.

If you don't find what you need let us know and we might be able to add it to the site.
